Facts without Sources
|
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, omitted a source. Any ideas anyone?

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/

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 sloppy thinking on my part in that I can see that I have been listing a lot of couples as "married" simply because they were living together (census data) or listed as parents; and not documenting the source of the reasoning. I guess in these sort of situations I should technically be listing the relationship as Unknown unless I have additional evidence. Sadly it is not the only example of where I have been a bit lazy ! There is enough there to keep me busy for ages. Thanks again for the pointer. Albert Easton
