The first step to ensuring quality in any public genealogy project would be to decide to refuse under any circumstances to populate the database from Gedcoms. They make it far too easy to pump bad data round and round from project to project. There's no point it trying to clean up, Gedcoms allow entropy to grow at a rate you'd never catch up with. -- Hotmail is my spam bin. Real address is ianng at austonley org uk
