The first step is to mark EVERY suggestion a match or reject. When this is done, the ADD button will appear on each row that is left.

When you have added all, you should go back over then entire list to ensure all the relationships have been made.

thank you Dave off to finish hopefully

Is there a way to delete suggestions or do we have to do each one separately Ihave for example 8 suggestions and NONE of them are a match
Unfortunately you have to click reject each time you open the window to see if they match or not.

It goes fast but it does take 3 clicks of the mouse.

Since my data contains the DOB AND place, my eyes go to that place in the suggestion right away and it is a quick reject if I see USA when my person is in England. If location has a close match, my eyes go to date and recheck the name spelling. I also see who is the manage because there are a number of us working on branches of the same family lines.
