For example, when I go to the first of the month, there is an event related
to my father. However, he passed away a few months ago and I'm unable to
delete all the recurrences. It's very hard for me to see this every month.

When I open it, there is no longer a "recurrent" setting. It's as if it was
created as a single event, but before the transfer, it was created as a
recurrent event. So far, I've had to delete each event for every month; for
this and many other events since I was the sole caregiver for my dad and
handled all his affairs; legal, medical, business etc.

Other recurrning events created after the transfer can be deleted as a
single deletion or deletion of the series. So, it's just the pre-transfer
recurring events.

Any suggestions?

If you used export/import anywhere along the way during this transfer, then
you changed the recurring event into a string of single events because you
cannot export a recurring event

So, if you click Actions there's no "Recurrence" menu item?

View the calendar in a table view like By Category and sort by date or
subject. It should make it fairly easy for you to locate, select, and
delete all the entries you don't need any longer.
