I have over 500 duplicates like this (I realize that . when I check a GEDCOM-Export in MyHeritage FTM)
How can I indentify such records in for manual merging RM?
You can also Customize the People List view which adds a column for FSID. Then, clicking the column header name (FSID) toggles the sorting of People in order based on FamilySearch ID’s for visual inspection for duplicate FSID’s. It’s easier to further filter by a group you could create of People with FamilySearch ID is not blank.
ok
i see, there is much to do for me … round about 1000 situations
tip1: already done
tip 2: 11000 records
this is FTM My Heritage
duplicates like this I have prepared:
this are duplicate given names.
I have marked the sibling early birth marked in suffix as “fv” (früh verstorben"
so I can this ignore with one click.
The remaining situations I have manually to clear.
Nebenbei:
Im 17. jahrhundert hatten meine Vorfahren bis zu 20 Kinder.
Viele davon verstarben frĂĽh.
So gab es für ein Elternpaar z.B bis zu drei “Maria” bist schließlich die 4. “Maria” länger lebte
Deswegen suche ich frühverstorbene über eine Gruppe “früh verstorben” und setze dort das Suffix “fv”
I have tried, the the fact "suffix) for the group fv 3 ; but there is no fact “suffix” to select
in this group areca. 800 persons
Suffix is not a Fact-type (eg. event). It is one of a number of elements that comprise the Name Table fields in the database record for each Person. I don’t believe there is any means within RM program to achieve mass edits such as this. This is why some intrepid users gravitate to external SQL applications to act upon the SQLite database format used in RM.

ok
I had made first steps in SQLITE
I can for example identify records by filters and delete them
I dont know, how search/replace in SQLITE will be done
I think with a SQL-Scripts
Is there anywere a template/example script ?
I can only again really suggest that other site. Its name (SQLite Tools for RootsMagic) is really the only place where similar endeavors (involving RootsMagic) are discussed and potential help offered.
I’m going to close commenting on this. RM does not recommend modifying the database outside of the program. Doing so is at your own risk. If you want to discuss modifying the database in SQLite its best to do it outside of this community.
