Gene,
If the merge is not considering Christening Dates, it's because you
haven't checked in the Merge Options to have them considered.
So before criticising the merge further, learn how to use the Options it
has.
I know the Merge function isn't perfect and there are some known bugs.
But not being able to consider Christening/Baptism Dates isn't one of them.

And further, the merge is not really fair in disregarding bap/chr dates,
dates in the U.K. before 1837 are always baptism/christening dates, we
as genealogists strive for accuracy, but a true birthdate is often hard to
come by, if you can find one at all, save for the family bible that
has been
stashed. Mandatory registration did not come into play like I said, until
1837 in the U.K. and often times after 1900 here in the States. Here in
Nebraska it was I believe 1912, so any date before that is a bap/chr date.

Hi I run a merge on 156,000 names and got 1300 on autpmerge, and used
Intelli pass. Before I run the merge I checked file properties and
wrote down the number of names and got 156,468. After the merge I got
156,468 names. So what is the point of the merge if it does not do any
merging. It still left me with 1300 names to merge manually.
Also when running the merge it locked up all my ram memory so I could
not use any of my other screens. The mouse was frozen.

Gene,
This check for duplicates as you add is relatively new feature I
think added in Legacy 8. It's not meant to be a full blown merge
involving intellimerge or anything else. It's to help prevent you
from adding someone who is already entered.
If you don't want to do that and would prefer the fuller merge
from time to time, then turn it off. It's controlled from Options
- Customise 2.1

But Thanx for trying.

Gene,
That QuickDup search as you enter someone new has very few
criteria
though you can modify them. See Options Ribbon - QuickDup Options.
The full Merge options are more extensive.

Thanx Cathy,
It does not appear to take into account birthdates either,
mainly name, it will bring up the exact name but totally different
birthdates, in my experience so far, as much as a 5 year gap.

< BR> Gene Hutson,
As a Legacy tester, I'll check this out further. If the merge were
initiated from Merge - Manual Merge it is usually followed by
suggestions of others that probably also need to be merged -
though it
does depend on your merge criteria. There are of course default
criteria but you can adjust them.
I'm not altogether surprised that it isn't doing this when merging
from the duplicate dialogue that pops up when you're entering
a new
person as I would expect the merged person to inherit all the
relationships of the person you merged into and that's my limited
experience. I rarely add a duplicate and when I do, I usually
back out
of that dialogue to do a wider check before using the Manual
Merge.
I don't think any of the merge criteria includes the marriage
status
of the person.

And as a further to earlier, it does not go far enough into
the merge
process by taking into account whether he/she was single and
never married, you can check the “never married” box and it will
still ask about duplicates, nor does it take into account
death dates.

I have the same problem. And further, any notes that I have in
both
memorials are not merged. I have given up on merging and do it all
manually and then deleting one of the memorials. It is reall y
frustrating to have to do it this way....

Hello Group,
LONGtime Legacy user here, one thing I have noticed with 9
and I just had it happen again, it may find a duplicate and it
will ask you if this is the same person, if all info is
correct and
you go to merge the two, it doesn’t truly merge the 2, it may
or may not merge part way, give you one parent but not the
other, or give that person you just merged with 2 sets of parents,
one obviously the correct set then one set of unknowns.
In the case just now, it asked “is this the same person?”
I verify all info is correct, it merges and then the person you
were working with is now a ½ child to one of the parents,
makes it look as if the mother in this case had an unknown
marriage and now this child is the product of the mother
and the unknown father, whereas she should have been
connected to both parents.
Hoping t his is clear and concise enough to understand.
Thanx,
Gene
