Comparison Options Tab
The Comparison Options tab is used to specify the comparison criteria that GENMatcher uses for
finding duplicates in a file or comparing two files. These are the same criteria as when defining a
session using the New Session Wizard.
All selected matching criteria is cumulative. For example, by default, as show below, surnames are
matched using exact names, the first 5 letters of the given names must match, and the birth dates
must be within 180 days of each other.
The Comparison Options that can be changed are:
· Surname - this criteria is always used and can be modified using these options:
·
Use exact name - match on all letters; that is, surnames names must match exactly
·
Use soundex to match - match names using a soundex comparison, which tries to match
on similarly spelled names. For example, both Smith and Smythe would match.
