Hi everyone, can anyone help me please. I have imported my tree into FH6 from Rootsmagic 7. I have been trying to clean things up before I get into really learning the program. As I was cleaning the colour coding facts that got dragged in from RM7. I noticed in the Individual Records Window these other facts, UID & AMTID, with lots of number after them. I have no idea what they mean and would it be safe to delete them. If so is there a quick way of doing it.
Kind Regards.

I have improved the
Subject and moved this to the more appropriate
Importing and Exporting Forum.
Have you checked the how_to:import_from_roots_magic|> Import from RootsMagic (RM) advice?
Some of the export settings suggested there may eliminate some of the rogue data you are seeing.
I notice you asked about
Import Gedcom from RM7 (15899) last year, and I gave same advice.
That was followed up with
Duplicate Images (15903) but we don't get much feedback of how you got on.
UID and
AMTID look like
Identity Codes unique to
Rootsmagic and so can be deleted.
They will probably be classified as
Uncategorised Data Fields (
UDF) by
FH and the [kb]|[/kb] advice above explains how to deal with them.

Hi Mike, thank you for taking the time to help me. I am sorry I didn't get back to you, but I had some family problems to tend to and come to terms with, sometimes life gets in the way.
Kind Regards.
