Finding duplicate facts

Post by Dave41 » 24 Aug 2013 16:46

I've received a GEDCOM file from a relative which was built on Ancestry, and which was in a bit of a mess.

I have found and merged numerous duplicate individuals and families, but there are also a large number of individuals with duplicate facts which have been added from Ancestry tips, without checking that the facts had already been attached.

So my question is: is there a way to easily find individuals with duplicate facts without looking at each record one by one?

The All Facts Query would help if there are not too many Individuals, but I suspect that is not the case.

I think a Plugin could find them quite easily.

Thanks Mike
I had run the All Facts query, but had not realized that sorting by event would show up the duplicates quite well. Thanks again.
