Thanks, Paul.
I think database differences report is what I need. I haven't got round to installing gramps 5.0 yet; would you recommend upgrading?

Yes I do recommend upgrading. That way we can get lots more testing done on it. But be aware that it is considered beta-level software and probably still has some bugs. I think the bugs are probably about the same quantity and annoyance as is in the currently available in 4.2.8. Just make sure you have lots of XML backups in case something should go wrong and you need to revert to the older version.
