I find that strange. It's a lot easier to find duplicates now; one of the main purposes of the new software is to reduce duplication. Of course, each submitter has the responsibility to check for duplicates, as has always been the case. Since it's easier to find duplicates records, that should reduce the total duplicate submissions. I'm sorry that you are not seeing that benefit.i also have suffered from a lot more duplicates since this program came on board

I have a few more years than that in the computer industry (mostly software), and I have used hundreds of applications that are more difficult to work with than New FamilySearch. Although it's not perfect, I think it is a big step forward in usability from previous offerings, and it keeps getting better.my experiance is that it one of the worlds worst software packages arround. i have 35 years of family history work and 25 years of working in the computer industry (mainly hardware) and i have not found such a dificult program to work with.
I know that change can be difficult. New FamilySearch does have a completely different model from other applications. Instead of creating your own data, you are collaborating with the rest of the world to create one unified set of data. That requires quite the change in thinking. But with a good attitude, we can all help each other to make the change. Then our efforts will benefit everyone instead of just ourselves, which is a tremendous improvement.a lot of members i meet also find it hard and a lot of older members have stopped submitting.
