* Import creates multiple copy of Exhibits/Media

Importing from another genealogy program? This is the place to ask. Questions about Exporting should go in the Exporting sub-forum of the General Usage forum.

Import creates multiple copy of Exhibits/Media

Post by alanRiddles » 06 Mar 2015 15:29

This is a previous topic but I can not find any answer. When I Import from TMG to Family Historian 6.0.2 it creates multiple copies of some of my Exhibits to Media.

Also Some sources are duplicated.

The quickest way to get a solution is to report directly to Calico Pie support at family-historian.co.uk with as much detail about what the Exhibits are linked to in TMG and what the duplicate Media are linked to in FH, plus Record Id, etc, etc... Ditto for duplicate Sources.

I must admit I am slightly surprised that FH would spontaneously duplicate records, so evidence that they are definitely not duplicated in TMG but are duplicated in FH will help identify the problem. This is where unique values such as Item numbers or Record Id are more important than titles that can be the same in different records.
