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.

My Heritage Data Integity

Post by Ambabheg » 24 Jan 2015 12:18

I export a GEDCOM from FH and try to import it into My Heritage and I keep getting error message on Integrity problems cuased by duplicate records. How do I identify these duplicate reords and remove them ?

How are you exporting your Gedcom as that can make a big difference?

Have you tried using the Plugin Export Gedcom File? There are lots of options although I don't think there is a specific one for My Heritage, but one of the others should do it. If you find a good method, please let us know.

Jim, is absolutely right.
There are many dialects of GEDCOM, because each genealogy package often adds valid custom tags, but they are aften not acceptable to other genealogy packages.

The Export Gedcom File Plugin offers Standard GECOM 5.5 and Minimum GEDCOM 5.5 export modes that eliminate all custom tags. See its Help & Advice for details.
