I’ve not yet started exploring the use of plug-ins, but I have succeeded in editing the GEDCOM file using Word, Excel, and Notepad (Also changing RESI to CENS which is my preference): crude and rather tedious, but effective. I was, however, hoping that, as I cannot be the first to hit these snags, someone might have already created a plug-in to save me ‘re-inventing the wheel’ I’m still trying to figure how to correct the other error they make – if anything worse – 0 @[email protected] INDI 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1 Jan 1920 2 PLAC Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, England 2 SOUR @[email protected] 1 NAME Eric William Thomas /Blackaby/ 1 MARR 2 DATE Jun 1942 2 PLAC Ware, Hertfordshire 1 SEX M 1 FAMC @[email protected] 1 FAMS @[email protected] FH rejects the MARR records attached to an INDI group
