Can anyone tell me if the book "Getting the Most out of TMG" is still applicable for v7? I am a new user of TMG and after downloading the book realized it references v5. Thanks.

Is there a way to bulk delete a batch of similar tags? After importing from a gedcom, I have about 350 entries that appear to be related to a "flag" on the incoming file. The flag is associated with the "family" entry. It is called "_STAT" and it indicated "Married" or "Not Married". It turns into a GEDCOM tag with a Memo of "Unknown GEDCOM: Married". I would like to delete all of these at once, rather than one by one. Any ideas? Thanks

I am considering migrating to TMG 7 from an ancient copy of Ancestry Family Tree. I have may years of data collected, most with sketchy source data (I was not in the habit of citing for much of my research career). Actually, that is why I am looking at converting to TMG. I am looking at this as an opportunity to clean up and validate my data and associated sources. I have about 900 individuals in the database. As I see it, I have three possible appoaches to doing this. Can you advise me on which would work best with TMG? 1) Start from scratch(!) - Literally rekey data and be sure to capture sources cleanly and accurately 2) Import data only and build and attach sources manually 3) Import data and sources and then try to go back and clean up Thanks.
