Source citations

Pedigree Forge supports two types of citations. Firstly, there are citations that are linked to a source. To link a source citation to a fact, locate the relevant fact in the “Facts and Events” table for the relevant person (or one of the couple if it is a couple fact). Click on the fact so that the fact is the current one being edited (its information will appear in the fields below the table):

Then, either click on the “+” button below the “Citations:” label, or right-click on the fact in the table and then select “Add source citation” from the pop-up menu.

This will pop-up a dialog to allow you to select the source to link to. By default, the source being edited will be selected. Clicking the “OK” button will link the fact to the source, creating the citation.

The source will show as linked in the “Citations:” list:

Citations can be edited using the “+” and “Trash” buttons to the left of the citations list. More options are also available by right-clicking on the citations list, which will show a pop-up menu of choices:
