Problem: Do I have duplicate people in my database? Genelines helps by identifying possible duplicate people because they appear as separate, parallel life bars (at same point in time) on a timeline chart. In the following Family Group chart, Michel Boudrot and Michel Boudreau seemed to have lived at the same time, each married to Michelle Aucoin. Are these actually two different husbands or the same person recorded twice?
To examine the problem further, a Comparative Biographical Chart created for Michel Boudreau and Michel Boudrot provides an even more detailed comparison. Both individuals are born within a year of each other. Both have the same last name, just with different spellings. Genelines has estimated the marriage to be around the same time. Both have a child named Charles.
Conclusion: It seems
very likely that the two are the same people, given the same last
name, almost the same birth date, same child name, and the same
time frame in which the two families “co-existed.” More
research is needed to confirm.
