Tim and all,
I started working on this and have some questions. First, I found
most of my contacts on the iPhone had been linked. Hopw did that happen?
A change that came in iOS 10?
On the Mac, disabled sync in all accounts. While there, I noticed in
the Mac's Contacts preferences. each account shows "cardDAV". I do not
remember seeing this prior to Sierra.
That made me wonder. Does enabling sync for the non iCloud accounts
actually mean contacts for each account or just one? I have a Google and
a Charter account. What I am asking is, if I enable sync for all
accounts, will they access a single Contacts or is this for say, a
Google address book?

I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

Hi,
Yes, that would work just fine. Just make sure that you turn off iCloud syncing for
Contacts in System Prefs first before doing any wiping, otherwise, you'll lose it all.
Also, when it asks if you want to keep a copy of your contacts on your Mac, say
"No". This should help to make sure that there's no duplicates when you
re-enable syncing of contacts. It should have figured that out the first time, but
computers do mess up sometimes :).
Later...

I may not have looked at Contacts since installing Sierra so not sure when
things went south.
I found duplicates so used the look for duplicates function. In the On My Mac
section, all the groups are doubled.
So before I do any more on the Mac, I will look at the contacts on my iPhone.
If that looks good, I want to know if I can safely disable syncing of contacts
on the Mac and wipe them then enable syncing again. Would that work? Thanks.
