Sort of. But sometimes you may not be sure which county you need to look in, or your research may need you to shift your focus from one county to another.
The problem is that if there are duplicate threads some people may set to work on one thread while others set to work on the other, and before you know it you have a confusing jumble of partly duplicated information, and people can get a bit fed up if they spend time answering one thread only to find that someone else has spent time looking up the same answers and posted them to the other.
The best way to do it is to cross-reference the threads, ask for all replies to go to one of them and lock the other.
