We recommend start by [[Start_with_Genealogy#Create_a_Family_Tree|creating a fresh, empty Tree]] and then importing... even if it is just as a test run.
Once the imported data is in Gramps, you can explore what needs cleaning. Maybe their export stored a duplicate of every place and source for the genealogy rather than building a hierarchy for each or even using the same identifiers. [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Merging_records|Merging]] duplicate [[Merge_two_places|Places]] and Sources now will be much easier when there is a sole source for all the data. There are free Third-party Addon tools some users have created and shared to [[Import_Merge_Tool|make merging forked Trees easier]]. You can use this pruned Tree as a stepping stone to a cleaner import. It is always safer to import data already in Gramps format.
