    1. Re: [FTM-TECH] Finding duplicate facts in database

    3. Hi, I use the the Data Errors Report (under Publish Tab___Person Reports. Then for errors to include I exclude all except for the "Possible duplicate event". It will generate a report where you just have to double click on the name of the person and it will take you directly to where you can do the edits (combine duplicate events, etc). After you have finished your corrections you just click ok at the bottom right of the screen and it will take you back to the report where you can select the next person and so on. It also refreshes periodically so the people whose duplicates have been taken care of will fall off the report....but it does not necessarily refresh immediately. Hope this helps.
