There are over 100 questions about duplicates in the forum. Many of these questions seem to come from someone not understanding how the term is used within Family Echo. I wonder if we could come up with a better term? I am not saying that "duplicate" is not accurate. I just see it leading to a lot of confusion
I don't really have a strong idea in mind. The idea, I believe, is to convey that "this person appears in multiple spots in the tree, because they are related in multiple ways." Clearly we can't use that term. Here is a brainstormed list. Feel free to add others or to say if any of these are better or worse.
