How people are matched
When both files are versions of the same tree, people with the same ID and name are paired. Otherwise people are paired by name, ignoring accents and letter case, and birth year within a year, choosing the one whose facts differ least.
What the comparison shows
How many people are the same, the people whose birth, christening, death, burial, occupation or sex differ — with what differs — and the people found only in one file. Click a name to see that person. To bring the two together, use merge two GEDCOM files.
