When WikiTree imports a Gedcom, it imports "stuff" that is internal to the individual genealogy software being used. Wikipedia informs that that "stuff" is called "cruft." It is "left over, redundant and getting in the way." For instance gedcoms from my software import an ID number. That ID number isn't even important to me and is certainly not important to other researchers.

- This page has suggestions for "cleanup"
- Youtube video by Julie Ricketts is helpful and easy to follow: Gedcom cleanup video
- If you're in doubt about whether to leave something or not, leave it. You can ask in the G2G what they think.
If you clean up a profile from the Gedcom import, please remove the tag! thanx
