Excellent, that confirms it was an introduced fault that needs to be fixed.
I wonder how much imported data has gone astray in the meantime.

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?
I agree with that but your very first suggestion was: "Deleting one of the Family records won’t delete the individuals, so it’s safe." whereas it may not be safe as we both agree. It needs further investigation to determine the simplest solution.

Yes, thank you. That confirms what Lorna and I suspected and you have accidentally created a duplicate Family record.

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?
Further to Lorna's reply, we need to check whether there are any actual Marriage Events for the couple. That is why a screenshot of the Focus Window is so important as it shows Marriage details too. If you delete a Family record it won't delete Individual records, but may delete a Marriage or other ...

Re: Adding Media files.
The problem with adding them to the Facts is remembering all the Facts that were derived from the media.

Ken, you must be doing something wrong because new records will always appear in the Records Window on the Individuals tab, which is I think what you mean by the Navigation Bar .

I don't think that is a straightforward task unless some form of import from Project 1 into Project 2 is allowed. How are Project 1 and Project 2 related? Was Project 1 created from an export/copy of Project 2 so that the Record Id of the 500 people will be the same in the two Projects? If that is t...

Dave, Named Lists hold links to records (the same as any other record links) and therefore use Record Id. They cannot use record Names because they are not necessarily unique.

Re: Export to Mac Family Tree — note for geocoding
I notice that you did alter the Rich Text Formatting to use HTML 5 format.
Was that deliberate and did it give the best rendering of Rich Text Notes compared to the other options?
You also ticked Use the JPG file format for all images. Was that necessary to get all images displayed?
