Suggest you go back to your backup files and restore the database to the condition it was before the GEDCOM import. First, you violated one of the preachings of this group by importing the GEDCOM into your live database. Thats a No No! Always import into a blank database and clean it up. Then make small sections of the cleaned up data and merge it into your live and backed up database. The problem you describe sounds like Notes Merging for duplicate individuals.

I was trying to find a way to edit the double note entries without doing one at a time as I am 67 and with over 65000 entries I would be 127 before I finish :) Bryce Hager >Suggest you go back to your backup files and restore the database to the >condition it was before the GEDCOM import. > >First, you violated one of the preachings of this group by importing the >GEDCOM into your live database.
