Ancestry.com - added reminder to remove unused objects
You may wish to select and remove all of these, provided you have established there are no significant errors in the import. The blank '''NOTES''' and the Ancestry-specific '''_APID''' records are of no use here, and they ''cannot be re-exported'' for reading back into an Ancestry tree.
 
Ancestry seems to allow a wider range of dates to be used, and does not always convert these to the valid GEDCOM date format.
There seems to be no automated method to fix these. These are identified in a default configuration by displaying the bad dates in bold in the display area. Gramps will fix some if you simply open an event and then save; others need manually editing.
 
==== Final cleanup====
A search for unused objects (''Tools->Family Tree Repair->Remove unused objects'') can identify and delete any remaining problems.
