* Relationship Sources

[rakow]

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

To add a Source Citation for a Fact Witness is much the same technique as for any other data item.
e.g.
To add a Source Citation to a Fact what do you do?
Display and select the Fact, so the yellow Sources For: box identifies that Fact, then click Add Citation...

To add a Source Citation to a Fact Witness, double-click the Fact to display its Fact Witnesses.
( That works in FH V7 but might need a slightly different method in FH V6 to display Fact Witnesses. )
Select a Fact Witness, so the yellow Sources For: box identifies that Witness, then click Add Citation...
