Please remember that the problem is with the data in the FSTree. Legacy is only sharing what is already there.
I have not had to deal with cases as large as you have, but I have had large cases that were important for me to sort out so I just did using a combination of work through Legacy and a lot more at the FST web site.

- Bill,
- One of the many items that FamilySearchTree imported from the IGI were the millions of Parish records and these seem to come over as from FamilySearch. Those generate many, many duplicates.
- For instance, every baptism creates a mini-family. If a couple have
- 10 children in a parish, the couple will be included 10 times, each time with one child. The couple themselves might be there with their marriage record. And then each burial record usually becomes a separate record.
- I find the merge capabilities on the FS web site virtually unusable to sort this data out.
- Does anyone else see this? Does anyone know of a better way to deal with this?
