I have just started trying to be a bit more rigorous with showing citations in my reports. It's not exactly easy since FH's "citation" data seems to be GEDCOM and no more, and GEDCOM is very much "published book or archival manuscript" and no more. Which makes citing an online set of images of a transcript of an original (to take a theoretical instance), a bit dodgy. That aside, I've been trying to squeeze in as much citation data as I can into various places in the FH data items, then checking FH's reports to see if I can achieve a sensible output. Which leads me to this: I'm creating a shared note - actually for some 1921 coal miners' strikes - that I want accessed from one or more people. I've created the shared note, with citations to various things like encyclopaedia entries, etc. Then I link the shared note to a person and run off a narrative report for said person - and the citations for the shared note don't appear. So far as I can see. Am I missing something that will make them appear? I'm sure that if I copy the citations from the shared note to the person and apply them to the link from the person to the shared note, then they will appear. But that's (a) a pointless duplication of citations and (b) arguably wrong since the cited sources don't mention the individual at all. Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something? Thanks for any thoughts Adrian

Adrian, You are correct about Linked/Shared Note record Citations not appearing in Reports. However you can get both Note and Citation in Reports as follows. Open the Property Box and select the Notes tab, which is where I guess you are adding the shared Note. Use the Add Note button and use Add link to Note Record... to link to your shared Note record. Select the linked Note in the Note pane above the button and use Add Citation to link to your Source record(s). In other words you link the Source Citation(s) to the Note Record in the Individual Record rather than directly to the Note Record. However, this Citation only applies to the linked Note Record and no other data in the Individual record. Thus only the Citation link(s) to the Source(s) are repeated in each Individual Record but each Note Record and each Source only exist in one place. This shared Note with a superscript reference to the Citation appears in the report after the usual life events narrative. Provided that is that the Report Options for Record Notes and Inc Shared Notes are enabled. Regards, Mike Tate

Thanks Mike That's about the only way I could see of getting the citations there - I was just hoping I was missing something, as it's not a method I'm wild about - every time I link someone to that shared note, I'd have to copy the citations in the manner you suggest. Cheers Adrian <<snipped>> you link the Source Citation(s) to the Note Record in the Individual Record rather than directly to the Note Record. However, this Citation only applies to the linked Note Record and no other data in the Individual record. <<snipped>>
