Hi, I use the the Data Errors Report (under Publish Tab___Person Reports. Then for errors to include I exclude all except for the "Possible duplicate event". It will generate a report where you just have to double click on the name of the person and it will take you directly to where you can do the edits (combine duplicate events, etc). After you have finished your corrections you just click ok at the bottom right of the screen and it will take you back to the report where you can select the next person and so on. It also refreshes periodically so the people whose duplicates have been taken care of will fall off the report....but it does not necessarily refresh immediately. Hope this helps.

I am using FTM 2014 with 7500 persons in the database. I want to clean up the database and have noticed that some persons have duplicate entries for the same fact ie: two dates of birth, two 1920 Census facts, two dates of death etc. I ran the Documented Facts report and it was 1990 pages long. It showed the information I wanted but every time I left the report to correct the error, FTM would take 10 minutes to recreate the report even though I was working from a saved report. Is there any way to create a report that shows only facts that are duplicated? rewolf4

Thanks BJ, it was the fact that I was enquiring about using the description field instead of notes in the AMT and Russ mentioned that sentence made me wonder if it had a wider implication. And it is something to consider at the time I set it up.

Russ, MI is Memorial Inscription. And I intend to put the MI and plot details in the Description field now I know I can’t have Fact Notes.

The AMT data structure does not support Fact notes, Research Notes, Media Notes nor Tasks; consequently, the information may not be displayed in the AMT. Users wanted to use the AMT as an emergency online backup of their file. FTM 2014's sync function was modified to upload and store the additional information. Thus it can be downloaded into a new FTM data base. However the AMT data structure has not been modified to make use of the additional data. So the Fact Notes are not displayed for the facts in the online data views. In simple terms, the information is stored online for recovery purposes but it cannot be viewed online. Hope this is clear as to why you cannot view the Fact notes in the AMT.

When I upload it to my AMT these notes are not copied. I see on the help that only person notes are copied. However I can see in other Ancestry trees that similar notes are there for burials. How do I do this? The only way I can see is to include a description field for the Burial fact and put the notes in there. Will that be what others have done? Or am I missing something.

Christine, I looked at Harriet's burial fact as you suggested. I'm not at my computer right now, I'm looking at it on my phone, so labels may have been removed to facilitate mobile viewing. There is no label for Place either. However it looks to me as if the additional burial information is probably in the description field in this person's FTM file. I believe the rest of your question has been satisfactorily explained by others. But I'm glad for the reminder on this issue. I've submitted an enhancement request to FTM that all notes that have been uploaded to the AMT be given the option to be made visible to the user and to anyone the user chooses.

I am seeing "notes" below the fact description where for other facts the "description" field is placed. That is what made me wonder if some other people had enhanced the "burial" fact to include a description field. e.g. see Harriet BAILEY b c 1835 Styal, Cheshire in "BAILEY Family Tree" by Pcarpmanone. But I didn't want to go down that route until I was sure that that was what others had done and there was no other solution.

I don't know why it's set up that way, but it is. If you download your AMT to FTM, the fact notes will be included. I would like to be able to see all my notes online, and be able to make them visible to those I choose. In the AMT, comments can be added to the Description field and might look like notes. If your AMT is public or shared with someone, others can make comments on facts. These may appear to be notes. Where are you seeing notes in others' trees? Judy in Ocala
