* import alternate names

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 alternate names

Post by pete56 »

I imported a GEDCOM to merge with my file and find I now have many alternate names for some of the individuals. Is there a way to delete these alternate names by batch or do i need to manually delete them one at a time? No problem my mistake. Thanks

The attached query will list all people with more that one name.

You can select the Name 2 column fields you want to delete and press the delete key to remove them, be careful if you have any people with a 2nd or subsequent name you want to retain.
