Why are you making obvious duplicates of this George Davis and duplicates of his wife Amy Davis? They obviously came up when you entered either profile.

Hi Chris, "They obviously came up when you entered either profile." This is an inaccurate statement. I have created duplicates many times myself because the existing profile (with the exact same information) didn't come up as a duplicate when I created the profile. Plus, if the birth dates are more than 2 years different, they may not show up as duplicates. Please remember that we always assume mistakes are unintentional. Thanks, Emma
