Relationship Sources
Posted: 17 Apr 2022 00:32
In the FamikySearch tree there is a Relationship source, which you can link to sources confirming (for example) that this person is the child of those parents. I've been using relationship sources in my modified "Pedigree" database for many years. I find it very useful when I have evidence for a relationship, without having a source for the actual birth event, or marriage event.
Is there something similar in FH? Looking around the FHUG site I see that using witnesses seems to be the recommended method. Make the child's father a witness of the birth event, and then add the relationship source for the father-child connection as the source that the father is a witness. This seems a slightly long way around. But I also have the problem that I don't see how to add a source for the fact that someone is a witness. What exactly needs to be clicked?
I'm using FH 6.2
