I've only been using this site for about 2 weeks and I was given to understand that duplicates were to be avoided, yet I have found dozens of instances where I want to put in names for example Marie Catherine and there is already a Catherine Marie or just Catherine all with the same surname , the same with Jean Baptiste some just put in Jean, then there are those that put in a "dit" name and those that don't, which results in more duplicates. I stopped using "dit" names years ago because it was very hard to trace individuals who had a dit name but never used it when signing documents.
I've come across many instances where there is a profile of someone with a spouse but no children, but in my data base there are about a dozen children.
Should I stop putting info in or continue creating profiles that are probably duplicates.
