Hi Mike managed to delete a lot of the rubbish. so how do I find the duplicate branch tool in case that will help sort all these duplicates. As if I open a diagram for everyone i see only one copy of each person, so the rest are hidden? how a[part from in Individual list do i find them, and how iden...

Ok Mike
I have used named lists before, so I think Ok there, I will play a bit.
Thanks
duplicates, and knowing where they are in the schem..ie a new branch is next headache.
goodnight
Bill

On the same subject , notes and dletion of, Under notes tab are many as screenshot...saying just Keep Keep. each has a record ID
but i cannot see how to determine whose record ( Indi) they appear in, again nearly all can be deleted I think, but one at a time, or slect all, dlete?

I'm assuming if I go to sources tab, I can select the Aln Cox Source, dlete, etc, But as last post, didnt want to lose some data in the occasional note like Johans I mentioned. Although all those with Alans Source generally can go. Just afraid if dlete wrong things, i lose others that are child fiel...

Ok first is probably to do with how select all records, with certain field entries If there is one way to do that if a field has Known Information in, then I assume the same process would work for every field?? looking at one screenshot attached in most records I would like to select all with Source...

Yes Mike I did the whole column, from top to bottom. So I am puzzled as to why 2 runs to clear all. Because it didnt occur to me to run the tool a second time doing a second delete, after deleting the column in the first try. As i said, at least its done now, I have some more to do soon, so will see...

Hi Mike still on the Gedcom that the relative made many issues with. Having deleted the rest of the rubbish, and solved the UID's , i note there are some other things I may be able to do to clean the ged up a bit. The first is that I note that many source entries ( most or all in fact) are obsolete....

Ok, will do that in a while, as animals to deal with. I've done the UDF process again, maybe it's the GED, but still had to do a delete on the empty left hand fields again after the first delete...weird...BUT Solved
Thanks

Ok I scrolled right, so can see the left hand column, but again there was nothing there ata ll, as I had dleted it all with the first use of the UDF tool. So thinking about it, I just went back and did the same again, with a second copy of the gedcom. Same resuly, nothing left in the far left column...

Look at the end field of Alice Blankings INDI record above, these are the UID's that are still being picked up for all on the GED, BUT there is nothing anymore in the left hand column, as dleted
Bill

Hi mike that's exactly what I did, But on one Ged after deletion if I ran UDF tool again, there were none found. On this Gedcom it's still saying they are there, as per the right hand 3 column s are named and in my illustrations, I posted last. So the individual I opened still shows the starburst ag...

I have Mike, I posted some screenshots there a minute ago. This one closed thanks Bill

sorry did same image twice, this is Alice one of those on the list

HI I have clicked and highlighted everything on the right, under Record .... Item Tag....Item Data Reference. One column at a time, but all it keeps saying is yellow warning triangle 'No Data items found in the selected cells. nothing to delete. When I do a UDF query using the plugin it throws up a ...

Morning Mike I was trying to print it from File Print, eventually, I figured that was wrong, and managed to output as a PDF. so thanks for that part. know its a different post but All I need to do now is find out how to delete the UID's still starred in Individual's data, I said what I was doing in ...

Mike
I tried to print the results to file, to email, and its all gobbledy gook?

Earlier I also posted a question on the UDF plugin, as couldn't delete certain data fields after deleted the Uid's thanks
Bill

Hi Mike used your duplicate Individuals Plugin for the first time, as a relative who was working on one part of the family took my FH gedcom, and somehow has introduced near 100 duplicate individuals. Most are almost identical data. A few have variations, like DOB, or where born. But I dont fancy tr...

Hi I have used the suggestions in this post to delete a lot of uneccesry UID's using the UDF plugin, from the left field. But when I run the tool still I have quite a list,(136) where in the Record Column is INDI, Item Tag column PPEXCLUDE, Item data Reference INDI._PPEXCLUDE. When I look at one of ...

Ok I will play thanks again. I cannot ever recollect hearing Bat Mizvah!! New one on me! If need help I will ask again. Bill

Hi again I have played with most of what you suggested and its great thanks. The only thing I looked at that unsure of is how to create my own Text Box Scheme. I saw I could copy the 2 entries of Name. dates, how related , and modify the copy by adding Notes, or whichever field you thought best to e...

Hi I'm back, it was only a short webinar. I reset the file root person and ok now. Thanks. Have noted what you said and the bits on custom text boxes, and will need try it. But please comment on following as to easiest, and there is an additional small issue at the end to show simply the people whos...

Great, I will look at the dna posts. Thanks

Ok Mike thanks. I am about to watch a webinar, will look after, and play around, and get back to you. What I wanted to do was build a chart/file to output a jpeg or similar with those family lines in that I have the RAW DNa of, and show their links to myself, so can print as a chart, showing or sayi...

Hi Looked through other posts, but not come across answers to this specifically. I have been using diagrams a fair bit the last days. I have opened the standard list of options for boxes, and have used the Name, dates, how related to chart root without issue, But the Name, dates and how related to f...

Mike
there was nothing I saw that made it clear that the file size would double from UTF8 to UTF16...now that seems obvious
