    1. [FTM-TECH] Finding duplicate facts in database
    2. rewolf4 via
    3. 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

    3. rewolf4, Are you saying that you only want ONE Dates of Birth? I don't know about your research, but I rarely get the SAME Birth Fact Information from the different records I look at. Do you Cite your sources?
