The second question, that adds on to the first, is: How do I / Can I delete a single type of event in bulk without doing it event by event, person by person?īecause at the moment, I am needing to go person by person, and delete each event by hand. So the first question is: How do I / Can I stop MacFamilyTree from downloading certain individual events? Unfortunately, that didn't work with FamilySearch downloads, so I have even more locations than before. I thought I had stopped the largest contributor from being downloaded (Place of Residence events - average 3-7 per person) by disabling it from being shown as an option in MacFamilyTree. Because FamilySearch doesn't require it be properly input. I've been doing that with the help of the integrated FamilySearch resource (I know, not always accurate, but helps that I don't have to rewrite all the information), but there are some side effects.įirstly, every person I download from FamilySearch ends up coming with all their event details, which is great, except now there are thousands of locations in my map and many are duplicates or wards or don't have the proper GPS location attached. It's just an easier way for me to view my tree without overdoing it. Recently decided that I wanted to focus my tree down to blood relatives, their partners (and their parents), and adoptive parents - barring adopted children, fosters, steps and other partners of partners). (Not looking for alternative tree programs) There are a couple of things I want to try doing, so I'll try to be as clear as possible. The manual is little to no help most of the time.

Hi there, hoping there is someone out there that understands how to use MacFamilyTree 9 better than me.
