Screen your migrants before you let them into your fort  ::)

Lock all dwarves in a room, let out any that get hungry, until only never-hungry dwarves are left. Then fill the room with magma.

I recently discovered that vampires can't drown. So flood your fortress! Those who survive are most likely vampires.

1.  Vampires will have a long list of previous memberships.  I don't mean half-a-dozen.  I mean a lo-o-o-ng list, taking up 15 or 20 lines under Thoughts and Preferences.

2.  Ordinary Dwarf Therapist will help because it will display the real name of every Dwarf.  DF displays the fake name a vampire is using at the moment.  If you have a mis-match between the two programs, that Dwarf is a vampire.

3.  Vampires also have great social skills compared to your other migrants.

4.  There is a variant of Dwarf Therapist, I think by splinterz, that displays the cursed Dwarves.

5.  I just discovered that vampires can die of infections!  I put three vampires into 1x1 outdoor walled areas each with a lever to keep them occupied.  These were open to the sky.  A Great Horned Owl attacked one.  It mangled his nose and both ears, as well as giving the vampire various other injuries.  When the vampire succumbed, the cause was given as death by infection.  There was a puddle of Dwarf Pus in the cell.

Ye, infections are the usual reason why my vampires die after a decent hammering.

If adamantine is perfectly rigid, as shown by having 0 strain at fracture in the raw files, then the speed of sound in the metal approaches the speed of light. Adamantine musical instruments would produce ultrasonic vibrations, and cut off the fingers of the musician.

You might want to intentionally make all of your dwarves into vampires via vampire blood. They'll stop killing your dwarves after you run out of normal dwarves.
