I don't know if such a list exists. But if you were to create a new tree with just one person in it, the facts list in that tree will contain only those pre-defined by FTM. As for the definition of the facts, that's up to you. People use them in different ways.

It would be wonderful if each Fact were defined, but just a list would do. I have searched on the internet and checked the index of FTM 2012's Companion Guide.I have added several Facts of my own and want to prepare a list that separates the Pre-Defined Facts from the Facts that I have added. Also, if anyone can suggest a good publication that defines Facts used in genealogy, I would like to know about that. Thanks!

Thanks, Judy! BJ ansered the question about how to tell if a fact is pre-defined, but I aopreciate your answer too and I'm going to test it. As for the definitions, most Facts are self-evident, but there are a few that I'd like to be sure that I use properly. Perhaps I can come up with a very short list of such Facts and share them with the list.
