Hi list, I recently had to combine 9 different FTM databases from a client into a single database as part of a big clean-up project. Although I told the program to merge duplicates, I've still wound up with often 7-8 of the exact same person. I don't know of any other way to merge these duplicates other than going one at a time, which will take HOURS in a 1,000+ person tree. Does anyone know how I can merge 7-8 duplicates all at once? Or any other way around this annoying problem? Thank you! Eva

>You could prepare articles for peer reviewed genealogical journals. Good luck. David, if your objective is to establish an income stream as an author, you will need to focus on commercial publications--a step you appear to have already taken. Peer-reviewed journals, a medium that has been suggested to you, rarely pay for their scholarly content. The Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly, our field's major trade journal, does pay for content that is accepted for publication. Books published commercially have traditionally provided the "best" income stream, but "best" is a relative word. Most genealogical authors I've known across the decades have found it necessary to maintain a variety of income streams from other professional endeavors--and many current book publishers (in and out of genealogy) are today experiencing exceedingly lean times.
