I've come across a handful of events/attributes in my database that don't to cite any sources (mainly residence and occupation) , and I suspect there may be a few more lurking. Is there a plugin available that can sniff out any facts not linked to sources? I've had a search but can't seem to find one.
Or maybe the same can be achieved via a query? I must admit queries are not a feature of FH I have ever really used, so I am not au fait with how I might achieve what I am after that way.
Would appreciate any pointers to a workable method of bringing any citation-free facts to light.

Re: Rooting out events/attributes without sources
Peter,
I’m not on my PC at the moment, but logic tells me if you can find everyone linked to a source/citation, the converse must be true.
Queries are a very powerful feature, and I’m sure that with a bit of thought, what you ask is perfectly achievable, and I might add, a tool others would find useful to have.
I’ll have a look in the morning, but before then, I’m sure someone will beat me to it
