Format gedcom to minimise cleanup

+6 votes
162 views
I am planning my next gedcom upload. I have to say that the prospect of the ensuing gedcom cleanups are somewhat daunting! I am trying to work out how to prepare the gedcom to make the cleanup easier. Any suggestions?? Would it be better, before I create the gedcom, to put source information into the notes instead of uploading the sources from my database. It seems when I upload sources that way they come out pretty scrambled and I have to delete it all anyway and redo.

One thing I would suggest is to wait a bit. The gedcom process is being seriously revised. New version will work much better. Should be online very soon.
