Cleaning up my gedcom file

[matt]

Hi, my gedcom file has been merged from several, and as a result some
individuals have got two identical birthdates recorded. Can anyone
suggest how I can find and fix these duplicates without going through
them one by one? I currently use Family Historian.

in FTM 2006 there is a dialogue box for all that

edit person

have you read the Family Historian help files under the menu?

It's far easier to import the GEDCOM into a genealogy program, and
make the corrections there. Almost any genealogy program will work,
and there are a few free ones available. If Family Historian won't do
that, then get another genealogy program.
