I have two brothers who marry two sisters. After going to People, do I add it all details for both couples then merge two specific individuals or merge all duplicate idividuals? |

I always merge 2 specific individuals just in case the program might merge others that I don't want to be merged. |

No need to add details first, details merge, too. If there's a discrepancy between details a little "a" will show up, showing there's a discrepancy. For instance sometimes you might have a middle initial for one but not the other. |

Yes it was on FTM. Seems to have worked. |

On FTM there is no need to merge for brothers and sisters marrying. |
