Fusion de doublons

Cet outil détecte les entités en doubledupliquées et vous permet de les fusionner.fusionner s'il s'agit de vrais doublons, ou de les confirmer comme non dupliqués si ce n'est pas le cas.
Il existe trois façons de rechercher et de fusionner les doublons. Elles sont expliquées dans cette page.

 

• Global search across the whole genealogy file
• Automatic detection each time an entity is modified
• Manual merge action from the user to force the merge of two selected entities

The following window is used in all 3 situations. This page describes the components of the tool and how to use it.

Probability indicator

It is difficult to assess with 100% certainty that two entities are duplicates or are not duplicates. Even a human being can sometimes have difficulty certifying that two individuals or entities are the certainly the same or certainly not the same.

Of course, it would be easier to limit the detection to saying that two individuals with exactly the same surname, first name and date of birth are duplicates. In reality, dates could be either missing or be approximate, first names could be in different order or incomplete, etc. In these cases, you would still want Ancestris to be able to detect something.

Therefore Ancestris uses a probability indicator. The more some information is similar, the more probable the entities are duplicates.

Ancestris then lists the potential duplicates according to this indicator in an intent to tell you:"While this is not certain, pargiven catégoriethe d'entitésimilarities in the information between these two individuals, they might be duplicates. And this is the level of confidence that they are". PourThen chaque couple d'entitéit's similaires,up to you to decide of whether merging or discarding the resemblance.

What this mean is that Ancestris vousmight donneshow unyou pourcentagepotential deduplicates ressemblance.that you will consider as non duplicates, and reversely, Ancestris might miss to show you some duplicates that could actually be real duplicates according to you.
Please accept our apologies if the detector is not perfect and please let us know if you find such instances.

Merge window

For entities compared as duplicates, the following window is used.

DatesWindow

This window displays one by one the total list of all potential duplicates where the probability is greater than 50%.
The list is sorted from the most certain pair of duplicates to the least certain pair of duplicates, by category of entity. For each pair of similar entities, Ancestris gives you a probability percentage.

The title of the window indicates the duplicate pair number displayed and the confidence that the two entities of this pair are in fact the same, and therefore to be merged.

A general message and displayed and depends on the situation the tool was launched, as global search, automatic detection, or manual action.

Each pair of duplicates made of two entities is displayed in the two columns.

As title of each column, a button allows you to select each of the entities in the editors for more details.

In each column are displayed the properties of each entities of the supposed duplicate.

Values that are different are displayed in red.

Values that are identical are displayed in blue for the left hand side entity, in grey for the right hand side entity.

The purpose of the comparison is to merge the right entity into the left one if you confirm them as duplicate

Therefore, a check boxe is available for each property on the right hand side to tell Ancestris to keep both selected  information of each entity after merging them.

The buttons are used to navigate within the list of duplicate pairs, postpone the decision, merge them now or confirm now as non renseignéesduplicate.

Swap Left and Right Entities Button

Swap the left and right entities in order to merge the two entities on the left one. This is useful if most of the information to be kept after the merge is on the right hand side.

Go to next duplicate Button

Displays the next duplicate.

Go to last duplicate Button

Displays the last duplicate of the list in the confidence index, therefore the least likely duplicate, or the duplicate which is 50 positions after the current one in case there are more than 50 duplicates in the list.

Remove duplicate Button

Removes the potential duplicate from the displayed list. 

It is useful if you do not know yet whether the two entities are duplicates or not, and you want to postpone the decision.

If a new global duplicate search is started, the duplicate will reappear.

Merge Button

By clicking the Merge button, the entities will be merged.

The entity on the right is removed from the Gedcom file and the information which check box is checked on the right hand side is added to the entity on the left.

For information that can only exist once (e.g. birth), it is only possible to keep the information from one of the two entities.

As soon as the merge is done, the window displays the same duplicate with the result of the merge so that you can check that everything has been kept as you wanted.

You can then move on to the next duplicate.

Non duplicate Button

This button excludes the pair of entities from the potential duplicates.

It marks the entity pair to be non connue,duplicate and stores this confirmation in the special "non duplicates" note.

The note is updated each time you press the Non Duplicate button in the Merge window or update the list using the Criteria window.

We have chosen to store this user information in the Gedcom file itself because we wanted your efforts to analyse the entities and decide that they are not duplicates  as a valuable piece of genealogy information that has to be kept and transferred as part of the Gedcom file.
The Gedcom standard does not cater for this need, hence Ancestris choice to store it this way, in one single note.
Should the Gedcom standard evolve, such as a NOALIAS tag, we might change the way this information would be managed.

You can see the list of confirmed non duplicates from the criteria window.

Global search

The purpose of the global search is both to identify duplicates throughout the whole genealogy and act on them, that is decide one by one what you want to do with each them.

or postpone the decision to later.

You can launch the global search from the Ancestris tools menu.

The duplicate merge tool works in two steps.

• First you specify the detection criteria in the corresponding window,
• then you choose how to merge duplicates in the Merge window.

While using the tool, the genealogy is changed accordingly

1. Entities you decide to merge are merged with the information you specified to keep
2. Entities you declare as non duplicates are logged into the special note.

A message lets you know when you close the merge window.

Automatic detection

The purpose of the Automatic Detection is to alert you in case the entity you are currently creating or modifying is a potential duplicate of another entity already existing in your genealogy.

The automatic detection of duplicates is activated by default in the Ancestris preferences.

As soon as you validate your entry in one of the editors, and if the corresponding preference box is checked, the detection automatically searches potential duplicates of the entity being edited.

All potential duplicates are then presented in the Merge window, for you to decide what you want to do with these duplicates.

In the case of the Cygnus editor where several entities can be edited at the same time, all modified entities are checked and therefore Ancestris will list in the Merge window all the potential duplicates of all the modified entities.

Manual Merge action

The purpose of the Manual Merge action is to merge two entities, regardless of whether Ancestris detected them or not.

Another purpose is to identify any duplicate for a given entity.

This action is accessible from the Context menu on the current entity you want to merge with another one.

item is selected, Ancestris asks you which other entity the current entity is to be merged with.

• To really merge with another entity, pick the one you think is a duplicate.
• To just know whether the current entity has got duplicates in the genealogy, just choose any entity from the list of entities.
