Yes, just like a website for your family IMO.

Since I am looking for relatives no later than the 1930 census on the web, it hasn't bothered me yet.

I would not enter any family current phone numbers etc. but the MERGE feature is very good, IMO, because you can see the names of people with info much like your relatives but the names of the spouse/children would be different.

Maybe someone that has more experience than I do can weigh in on it for us.

All I know is, it has helped me to finally connect the dots and stop having thousands of sheets of paper all over the place.
