    This looks interesting....

    Bonkers is my new GEDCOM sanity checker. It is available as a free web service. It will load a GEDCOM file and scour it for numerous implausible and impossible claims by running several recursive, multipass, deep scanning algorithms while you wait. Afterwards it will generate a detailed report that you may review at your leisure. In most cases, Bonkers will be finished before you can get yourself comfortable in your seat.

    It works! Simple to use and it found a few issues with my tree that I had not previously spotted.
    Now - time to try to resolve those issues. (Scratches head).

    looks good - it found a few errors in data for one side of my family... two turned out to be typos for the year of death, so very useful

    Other warnings are correctly calculated but valid - e.g. 30 years older than spouse at marriage, people with multiple parents (adopted), and some 'Date Phrases'... have to look into those but some seem to be 'abt' items
