Regardless of what merge strategy you choose, install the MultiMerge gramplet … from the [Isotammi addon collection](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/curated-addon-collections/7170/2).

If, for example, you find a dozen items citing the same page of a source, you would have to do 11 pairs of operations with the built-in merge. With MultiMerge in the Citations sidebar, you select all 12 and merge with a single operation.

The same when merging People or Events. I have not tested to see what happens with Event Roles during merges. We may have to ask @kku about whether differing Roles are preserved.
