Want to compare lists of similar LNAB to find potential duplicates

Question

I want to compare the lists of Nation and Nations people in Wikitree to look for potential duplicates. I found some today, but I'd like to find a way to not have to go through both lists manually, one name at a time.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

you can use wildcards in your search: nation*

Comments

This is better than trying to compare 2 different lists side by side, but the drawback is there are 1181 results for Nation* -- and Wikitree will only show 100. Now I am back to either entering complete first names or partial first names -- and even A* Nation* returns 137 results.

So, this is better than what I was doing, but still not quite what I wanted.

Thanks for the suggestion.

sure, but you can refine the search by date, or other criteria
