QUESTION of the Day #2

QUESTION of the Day #2

If you were to find an Online Tree that is Messy, that is many Alternate Facts or Events, what is your Reaction as a Viewer, AND as a Collaborator?

In this case, there are 7 Birth Facts. Each has at least one Citation. One is my preferred Fact, the other 6 are the Alt Facts.

What is your reaction to this as a Viewer and/or a Collaborator ?

QUESTION of the Day #1:

If you were to find an Online Tree that is clean, no Alternate Facts, what is your Reaction as a Viewer, AND as a Collaborator?

Clicking on any of the Facts / Events will show you the Sources of the data. Clicking on any of the Citations will show what Facts / Events came from that Source.

Hi Russ

Hi Russ,
As a relatively new user of FTM2014, I appreciate your “this is how I do it” tips – they have been very helpful in getting me up to speed.

I have a question that I have not seen addressed by you: how to you handle pre-1850 US Census records? I am not so much concerned about the citation as I am in how you handle the dreaded tick marks. In my mind there are two different scenarios: those cases where I believe that I have sufficient evidence to identify the person(s) enumerated within particular categories and those cases where I am not as sure.

How do you handle these cases? Do you create events for the people that you are confident of?

Thanks!
Tom Phelps
