[[File:FindPossibleDuplicatePeople-dialog-default-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Find Possible Duplicate People - dialog - default]]
You can access this tool via the menu {{man menu|Tool->Family Tree Processing->Find Possible Duplicate People...}}.
The {{man label|Find Possible Duplicate People}} dialog will be shown and you can adjust the following options:
*{{man label|Match Threshold}} : choose between '''Low'''(default), Medium and High from the drop down menu. (Note:{{man note|How is the quality of match measured?|2=This calculates a chance the chances (or 'odds') of matching on a quality scale labeled as a floating point numberlow, medium and high. For each piece of information that matches corresponds, the quality of the chance match is considered to be marginally increased. If The closer the particular pieces of data correlate, the larger the increase. When the chance is greater than the threshold selected '''Match Threshold''' then a match is will reported. The thresholds are Low=0.25, Medium=1.0 and High=2.0. So , with the filtering threshold set to High less , fewer matches are expected.)}}
{{man label|Options}}
If there where changes to the capitalization of any names you will be presented with the {{man label|Capitalization changes}} results window. The window shows a list of the family names that Gramps can convert to (according to Gramps) correct capitalization (please check that it is correct for you.). In the {{man label|Capitalization changes}} results window list the following columns are available:
* {{checkbox|1}} {{man label|Select}} - Check or uncheck these on a "by name bases " basis if you choose not to accept the recommendation (checkbox checked by default)
* {{man label|Original Name}} - The name as currently recorded.
* {{man label|Capitalization Change}} - The name with change if applied.
{{-}}
You can also install the "[[Addon:Fix Capitalization of Given Names]]" tool Addon that once installed works almost identically to this tool but works for "Given Names"
{{-}}
You can select this via menu {{man menu|Tools > Family Tree Processing > Merge Citations...}} .
{{man warn|Undo history|Proceeding with this tool will erase the undo history for this session. In particular, you will not be able to revert the changes made by this tool or any changes made prior to it.

Essentially, any two people are directly related by blood if they have an ancestor in common. One of these individuals may actually be an ancestor of the other - such as a great grandparent. Even in the cases of aunts and uncles, you still can calculate the relationship by searching for the common ancestor. In this case, the father or mother of the aunt or uncle will be a grandparent to the nephew or niece.
The most basic blood relationship through common ancestors is that of siblings (brothers and sisters) who are only one generation down from the common ancestor. Another special relationship is that of one of those siblings to the descendants of the other siblings. If the Active Person is a grandchild of the common ancestor, the sibling would be an aunt or uncle. Beyond that generation of descendants, there are two equivalent ways of describing the relationship. The daughter of great grandparents might be called either a grandaunt or a great aunt. (The Relationship Calculator uses the 'grand' variant.) That person is a great grandaunt to the second great grandchildren, who are four generations distant from the common ancestor. (She may also be called a second great aunt.) The reverse reationship relationship of an aunt or uncle is a nephew or niece.
Cousins (also called "first" cousins) are two generations down from the common ancestor through different siblings. "Second" cousins are thus, three generations down from the common ancestor - and so on.

* The '''[[Addon:Deep_Connections_Gramplet|Deep Connections]]''' gramplet: If this third party add-on addon is installed, it will list the intervening generations through the sibling offspring of a common ancestor. (But it does not list the common ancestor or if both person a connected through the same spouse.) The Gramplet also details the indirect relationships. * [[Specification:Relationship Calculator|Relationship Calculator Localization]] - create meaningful relation descriptions in your region.

The first check box: {{man label|Estimate missing or inexact dates}} causes the tool to accept a baptism date if a birth date is not known, and to accept a burial date if a death date is not known. It also causes the tool to accept "inexact" dates (i.e., any "legal" Gramps date which is not a fully-specified one (with an explicit day and month and year)).
