Linda,

See

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~johncardinal/tmgutil/deltagbytype.htm

(If that URL spills over to multiple lines, either paste them back together, or
navigate from the following link, to "Contents" (button in upper right), to
"Delete Tags by Type".)

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~johncardinal/tmgutil/

The Delete Tags by Type function will delete events for you, and it will retain
events that meet certain criteria. For example, if you want to delete events
that are completely empty, no date, memo, location, then you would check all the
retention options. I believe all-checked is the default setting.

If you use this feature, be careful, and double-check the results to make sure
that you only delete the events that you don't want.
