Sorry Mike, but you will have to give us a bit more detail of what you have done and what you can see.

You say you created a custom fact for Godparent but then say you are using it as a witness.

Please confirm which of the following you used:

1) Tools > Fact Types… and the New… button to create a custom fact called Godparent that is now shown in the Event/Attribute list.

2) Tools > Fact Types… selected an event such as Baptism or Birth, then used Edit… button to create Witness Role: Godparent (although that should already exist for Baptism).

Exactly where are the sentences you describe?

The top half of the Facts tab is a list of all the facts and below that are the details of one selected fact.

At the very bottom, there is a Sentence: box.

Are you talking about the Date: box near the top of that lower section that probably says Godparent immediately above?

With that clearer understanding, we should be able to help.

Hi all.
After creating a custom fact for Godparent and using as witness, in the fact tab I now have the sentence in its window, all ok. However this sentence also appears as a strip above the date field. is it possible to have this position to show, for instance, "Godparent to principals name".

Being ancient in years and a newbie to genealogy. please be gentle !

Thanks Mike
