Splitting Lumped sources but keeping citations intact?
Posted: 08 Jul 2021 20:20
Hi Folks:
My sources/citations are a mess, especially those that came from familysearch (downloaded automatically). I've been working a lot lately to clean them up. I have an issues with my familysearch source. I have once source and a little over 5000 citations. The problem is easily seen I think by looking at the pic below:
They 'work' ok, and export to FTM to upload to ancestry just fine. The problem is that (it's not FH7's fault) all the citations just list by title: Familysearch. It makes it really a pain to know what the citation contains.
What I'd like to do is something like splitting the sources out and putting the citation as the title. I tried the "Lumped Sources Splitter" and it worked pretty good , but in removing the citation info and moving it to the source, then the images and links get lost when uploading to ancestry (Ancestry won't allow FTM to upload source media, it has to be on the citation).
I also looked at the "Search and Replace" plugin (thinking I could replace the source title with the citation ) but that of course won't split the sources. Any ideas or a plugin I'm missing?
