Russ,
I thought I posted a reply. But I don't see it.
Is the Source Usage report the same as Source Citation?
I have looked at it. There are multiple entries for three different persons for this source. For two persons, the multiple entries are for the "Name". For another, it for "Birth".
Thanks for the prompt response.
Jim

Jim,

There is a Source-Citation, then for that Source-Citation you can see which Individuals have a FACT with that same Source-Citation.

Did you look at the Person's Name FACT and see what Source-Citations were listed in the RH Panel for that Name FACT? Are there multiple Source-Citations AND are they exactly the same?

Yes.
I am going to send you an e-mail with a pdf file showing a duplicate sources for "Name" -- sources 2 and 3 appear to be exact duplicates.
Thanks for your help. I can't imagine how you have time to do what you appear to do.

Jim,

I have replied to your email. For this thread, I suggested that you look at both Source-Citations and look carefully at the four fields that make up the Source-Citation. One character difference may cause the "duplication".
