Mike, Thanks for the speedy reply. The query worked a treat (I am using version 7) and I am embarrassed to say that it showed up even more unsourced facts than I expected. As an example it shows some

Hi Albert, Yes, a Fact Query to list those is quite easy and there is a version in the FHUG Knowledge Base Downloads ‘Unsourced Facts’: https://fhug.org.uk/kb/download/unsourced-facts-3/

Hi, I am in the process of tidying up my project – checking data , links etc and I am wondering if there is a way of listing any facts that I have entered but where I have, for whatever reason,

Heather, I forgot to explain how to find where Media and Sources are used. In the Records Window on the Media tab or the Sources tab (or any other tab for that matter). Select the record you want

Heather, In the Individual Media tab click the red X and choose to Unlink Only. That disconnects the Media but keeps it so it can be linked elsewhere. Then you can add them to Citations using

Mike, After reading the various articles about sources, citations and media as previously suggested it is apparent that I have used the “lumped” source method and all the details I recorded on

Ni,. Mike, you haven’t misunderstood, but your original email sounded as if ‘FH right’, ‘users perceived definitions’ wrong. Especially when you use the word perceived, rather than

Helen, I agree with you. That is what I thought I said. The concept of citations as statements is different from the ‘Citation’ database structure described in GEDCOM & FH. The same word has two

Can I add one thing. Part of the source /citation system is to enable another researcher to find the same information. But to truly do that you need a third bit of information and that is

Mike, quite a lot of the genealogy world (also Historian and other academics) use ‘citation’ according to e.g. the ESM definition: “Citations are statements in which we identify our source

I think that part of the problem may be that the term "citation" has two different meanings. To people who are adept at citing sources in written documents, I think that I'm right in saying that the

Paul, The concepts of Source and Citation in GEDCOM FH terms are sometimes different from user’s perceived definitions of source and citation. Your definition of a citation being a form of words

Ancestral Sources is a companion program for FH that helps to create sources and also the facts derived from them (for common source types e.g. BBMDB and Census). It works with V7 and can use generic

Thank you, CVG Where does the oft-cited Ancestral Sources fit in, please? Best Paul Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone but not so smart as to usefully auto-correct the typos from my large

A source is a historical record – the source of some information. As you say, it needs to be clearly and unambiguously identified. A citation is a link from a fact/assertion to a source. It may

Hi Geoff, Certainly, consistency is an important consideration for Source Citations. I was fascinated that your description focusses on Census records yet your aide-memoir notice does not mention

As a newcomer to FH but not to referencing primary sources, I'm not able to see how the distinction is being drawn between sources and citations in FH. To my mind, the source is the evidential record

I've got a T shirt for this one too! Personal factors come in here. Some users seem to not worry about sources at all or, if they do, their system is often inconsistent. That’s the way I
