Source Usage

Post by jmy46 » 07 Sep 2015 16:42

I have switched to Family Historian v6 from Family Tree Maker. In FTM, the facility was provided to show all the individuals linked to any Source. In FH, I can see my list of sources in the Record Window and see, in the Citation column how many times each source has been used. But I can find no way of seeing which individuals are linked to a particular source. Is the facility available in FH?

I have searched the knowledge base witout success. If I have missed the obvious, I apologise but will appreciate any guidance to the solution that anyone can give.

There is a View / Standard Query "Individuals Linked to Source" and also a Tools / Plugin "List all Citations for a Source".

On the Records window on the Sources tab you can highlight the appropriate source and then select View > Record Links.... To see more details for a specific person you can then select the person in the Record Links window and click on Go To.

John, welcome to the FHUG. The advice given offers you several good alternatives.

As a newcomer, may I suggest you work through how_to:key_features_for_newcomers|> Key Features for Newcomers and follow up the subsequent links to further advice.

Also checkout how_to:import_from_family_tree_maker|> Import from Family Tree Maker (FTM).
