Is there a way to remove my email address from multiple profiles?

Question

Years ago someone uploaded a GEDCOM with my email in it, which is now in the source field of quite a number of profiles. I'm removing it as I find it, and I know there's no way to bulk edit, but is there a way for me to search and find all of the profiles it's on? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can search for profiles from the GEDCOM file with WikiTree+.  In the text search, put "GEDFile=name_of_file".  But...  (from the help page):

GEDCOM filename (you have to replace each separator with an underscore. Don't forget to also replace spaces, dots, ... For instance use Putt_Grantham_Marple_Robinson_4__2014_01_21_02_GED to find Putt-Grantham Marple-Robinson(4)_2014-01-21_02).

Answer 2

I've had some success using Google to find profiles created from a particular gedcom, without necessarily needing the entire name of the gedcom, and without needing to be case-sensitive. The search string to find profiles that contains the string "Henderson.FTW" would be site:wikitree.com henderson.ftw

This works when the name of the gedcom (or other relevant keywords) is displayed in the public page, and that page is indexed by Google.

Answer 3

I believe you can enter the email address within quotes in the standard WikiTree text search.

From the WikiTree Menu (upper right of page) click on Find>Search then scroll down to Search for Any Text, Use Google search, All WikiTree pages
