Permanent control for duplicates<\/h3>\n

When adding a new person to your genealogy, you may risk creating a duplicate, that is to say, create two distinct persons for the same ancestor. Heredis provides a tool, available in all entry fields for indi\u00adviduals, to avoid creating a person already saved in your file. Heredis will control for duplicates at all times during the entry of data. If the person already exists, select him\/her in the matching persons list and click on Choose<\/strong> to link the person instead of creating a new one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Info<\/strong> \u2022 For even more pertinence, Heredis includes in the list of poten\u00adtial duplicates, those persons already entered bearing a variant of the name you typed.<\/p>\n

In the Add or Choose\u2026 screen<\/h4>\n

With the first letters typed in the Surname<\/strong> or Given Names<\/strong> fields, you see, in the Matching Persons<\/strong> column, the list of individuals already entered who may match the person. Step by step, as you enter new letters, the list of duplicates is updated.<\/p>\n

In the Family Group Data tab<\/h4>\n

When you type in one of the fields of this screen, the full name of a person already entered, the Enter New Data<\/strong> icon (gray arrow) turns red \"\". Click this icon to see a list of individuals who may correspond to the person.<\/p>\n

Check if a proposed person is in fact a duplicate<\/h4>\n

Select the person from the Matching Persons list or check in the Summary panel. Here you have more information for more effective comparison.
\nIf it appears that the person you wish to create already exists, select him\/her from the Matching Persons list and click the Choose<\/strong> but\u00adton. This will cancel the creation of a new person, and thus avoids a duplicate in your genealogy.
\nIf you do not find a duplicate, continue.<\/p>\n

Search for duplicates in the file<\/h3>\n

Heredis controls while imputting but the importing of data from other genealogists, or a moment of inattention may create duplicates. This powerful tool is essential for maintaining an impeccable gene\u00adalogy file. Research and verification is carried out in one click. The results are clearly displayed and indicate the probability of duplica\u00adtion.<\/p>\n

The search for duplicate identifies persons entered several times in the genealogy file. The permanent control indicates possible duplicates as you tip but duplicates can be made because of an import file or an unguarded moment.
