How can I remove all the duplicates that show up in my Contacts (other than one at a time)?

Magically, all my contacts list is in three's. Awhile ago, when this happened, I meticulously deleted the duplicates, one at a time, but I'm dealing with hundreds of them now. There must be a way to "fix" duplicated like there is in Yahoo. Does anyone know how to do it?

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Evening Harriet:

Do you use iCloud at all? If so, check on the left side of your contacts to see if you are in "iCloud", "on my Mac" or "all Contacts"

If you are using "all Contacts" you will see duplicate items from your Mac and iCloud. You can either switch your view to your Mac or iCloud.

Duplicates should disappear.
