Hi
I recently imported a fairly big gedcom to my tree. I have had other imported gedcoms have their surnames in lowercase, which isn't an issue, but Ive noticed that while searching for a person in the edit area, it is separating the upper and lower case surnames into separate alphabetical areas...
so JOHNSTON a-z is then followed by johnston a-z
any way to make them all uppercase, or integrate the upper and lower case surnames to make searching more applicable...
thanks
Richard

importing gedcom..lower case surnames
Hi,
actually, its a bit worse than I thought
now I'm noticing that all the lower case "K" surnames are following all the upper case "K" surnames .
when I search, for example for the name "Kaye" , the search only goes to the "KAYE" surnames displayed all in upper case "KAYE"
I then have to scroll down through all the upper case "K" surnames to get to the "K" lower case names..."Kaye"
...help!

Hi,
I really only meant import the last GEDCOM file again but now that you mention it, exporting the entire database as a GEDCOM file and importing it back into a new database would solve your problem as long as you have no pictures in the database.
Just make sure that when you export the GEDCOM file you use the following options:
Export all families
Aliases
Sources
Notes
Privacy level - set this above your maximum used level
Receiving system = Kith and Kin Pro
Please note that pictures are not included.
