Duplicate issue on WLM contacts – can’t be removed – and missing info in People

My address books in WLM and People are not set up properly.  In WLM I have duplicates of most contacts with either in slightly different format with same info.  One contact page has Network with no info next to it, and below that Personal with phone numbers and email addresses, and  Others.  The second listing has Personal, sometimes Work.  The Network listing can not be deleted.  Also they are not recognized as duplicates because in People there are no duplicates.  In People I find most of the information missing that is in WLM contacts although all the contact names are listed.  It does supply links to Google which may or may not have more information about the contact.  It is quite discombobulated.  It would be helpful to have People and WLM contacts in sync without the duplicates.  Maybe if I delete all of People and then import from WLM I can then remove the duplicates in both.  I would like a solution first before I try anything else, so I won't loose contact information.   I should have only about 1500 contacts in WLM but it shows as over 3000 with the duplicates.
