Check/Manage Tree: MyHeritage Project 2, Goal 9

You can use the Tree Checker tool to find and resolve data issues in your tree, and you can switch between trees and merge trees when necessary.

Summary

In the Family tree menu, click Consistency Checker. The Consistency Checker tool scans your family tree to find issues that need to be corrected, and it provides tips for correcting them. At the top, statistics are displayed for the number of issues found, number of people checked, estimated time left in the check, and percent of completion.
To correct an issue, read the tip and click the person's name. In the person's Essentials page you can provide the correct information. You can also see more information about the issue by clicking the information button next to it.
To stop a Tree Checker scan, click the X (upper right).
To hide or show the results of a particular issue, click the arrow that appears at the right of the issue heading.
To disable checking for a particular issue, click the X that appears at the right of the issue heading.
When the scan completes, you can run it again (circle-arrow), or print the results (printer icon), or change the Consistency Checker settings (wheel icon).
In the Consistency Checker settings window you can see the possible types of errors and warnings. To disable a particular issue from being scanned for, clear its check box.
