Merging Details
We have now used the same process twice to merge parents and
children. The very same process accomodates all data types.
We will now go through an example of finding a mis-spelled location
field. For the sake of the tutorial, we know where to find this
in advance. You would normally find such things in the usual
process of inspecting matched people with the Three-pane Merge Window
and searching for unresolved differences with the "Find Unresolved
Difference" button. Because you can do this until the person has
no unresolved differences, and then mark the person as "done" you will
mark your progress all along until all people are marked done.
Starting from the following People Progress Window we will process Lady
Diana.

When you press
the Merge in Merge Window beside
Lady Dianna you get;

Now
press the Find
Unresolved Difference button and it will find the following:

The difference it found is a difference in spelling of the name of the
town. I happens that the new spelling is correct, so we
press on it to
push it to the middle. The result is:

Even though we have done a merge, this is still marked with red for
"unresolved difference". We could push the yellow value back to
center. We also could edit the value of the field we have pushed
to the center by doing a right-click-->Edit:
and using the Editor to
change the value:
In this case we will not do any of that, but we still want to tell the
project that we are done with this difference. To do that we
check the box next
to the entry in the center column:

Now the project will remember that we consider this resolved, and when
we
press "Find
Unresolved Differences" we will be told we can
"Mark Person Done"
and go on with further work.
