I had the same problem and successfully removed duplicate sources using Access over a year ago in Legacy V6. I used a query written by Dennis K who is no longer on this list. If you want to try it I'll look it up. Actually I think I had 2 identical sources attached to one event whereas you have 2 identical events so it would require a different query but should be do-able. -- Richard Van Wasshnova Seal Beach On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Fred Prong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: List Members: Having created a new db using the "import GEDCOM" routine, the resulting new family file has many Census events recorded in duplicate. Is there a way to eliminate the duplicate event record? Am able to tag the individuals with the duplicate records, but cannot find a way to remove the extra record, other than a manual delete for each one. Am using the latest build LFT v.7, on Windows XP.
