Hello collins57,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPhone contacts have been duplicated.
Did this occur after turning on iCloud? If these contacts are duplicated after setting it up, see this article for some helpful steps to resolve the situation:

If you've backed up contacts a different way, feel free to reply with some more detail about the method you used.
Cheers,
Jeremy
