I do have one question about the case when I have one Master source, like a census record, that would support multiple facts. Thank you so much for these posts! I am new to RootsMagic (I formerly use FTM) and learning how to properly document my sources has been challenging!

Here is the 'Citation Manager' screen for the Master Source (highlighted) before I entered a Source Detail: The Master Source was created earlier using a 'Free-form' source template. In this post, I will demonstrate how to add additional information about a specific master source and source detail that completes the source citation information.ġ) I added a Probate event for Henry Adams in RootsMagic 7, using the date and place that his will was proved, clicked on the 'Source' button on the 'Edit Person' screen, and then selected the appropriate Master Source. In the first two posts, I created a new 'Master Source' and a 'Source Detail' using the RootsMagic source templates. * Creating Source Citations in RootsMagic 7 - Post 2: Adding Source Details to the Master Source (posted 13 January 2016). * Creating Source Citations in RootsMagic 7 - Post 1: New Master Source (posted 12 January 2016). I probably should have used it initially. I am using it because it has more information about the Henry Adams family that suit my purposes for this blog series. Note that this 'Master Source' is a different work than the first two posts in this series. I obtained the pages at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City in 2010, and also found that it has been digitized in FamilySearch Books. His English Ancestry and some of His Descendants (New York City : privately printed, 1927). Gardner Bartlett, Henry Adams of Somersetshire, England and Braintree, Mass.

I have a photocopy of pages from this published book in my Adams notebook: Researchers new to RootsMagic 7 may have challenges learning how to enter source citations into RootsMagic, so I thought I would show how I enter a new source and then create a citation, with the Evidence Explained source templates, and with a free-form template (in a later post in this series).
