This The '''Find Possible Duplicate People''' tool searches the entire Tree database, looking for the entries that may represent the same person.
You can access this tool via the menu {{man menu|Tool->Family Tree Processing->Find Possible Duplicate People...}}.
The {{man label|Find Possible Duplicate People}} dialog will be shown and you can adjust the following options:
*{{man label|Match Threshold}} : choose between '''Low'''(default), Medium and High from the drop down menu. (Note:{{man note|How is the quality of match measured?|2=This calculates a chance the chances (or 'odds') of matching on a quality scale labeled as a floating point numberlow, medium and high. For each piece of information that matches corresponds, the quality of the chance match is considered to be marginally increased. If The closer the particular pieces of data correlate, the larger the increase. When the chance is greater than the threshold selected '''Match Threshold''' then a match is will reported. The thresholds are Low=0.25, Medium=1.0 and High=2.0. So , with the filtering threshold set to High less , fewer matches are expected.)}}
{{man label|Options}}
If there where changes to the capitalization of any names you will be presented with the {{man label|Capitalization changes}} results window. The window shows a list of the family names that Gramps can convert to (according to Gramps) correct capitalization (please check that it is correct for you.). In the {{man label|Capitalization changes}} results window list the following columns are available:
* {{checkbox|1}} {{man label|Select}} - Check or uncheck these on a "by name bases " basis if you choose not to accept the recommendation (checkbox checked by default)
* {{man label|Original Name}} - The name as currently recorded.
* {{man label|Capitalization Change}} - The name with change if applied.
