I have found the solution. The “Record Change” fact in Family Tree Maker turns out to be a product of importing any GEDCOM file into the program. I was able to erase every one of them by exporting the file as a GEDCOM file, deleting the FTW file and then importing back the same GEDCOM file by selecting which facts to import. By selecting a “blank” option against the “Record Change” leaves that fact blank, so when the file is imported, all those old “Record Change” facts are gone. I’ apologize to those who don’t use FTM but for those who do, Thanks to Cheryl and Carolyn for their support.

Has anyone found a way of deleting these entries? Bruce No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
