Even the 1900 census birth month and year can be problematic. I have found quite a few cases where it looks like the census enumerator came up with the year of birth based on the person’s stated age rather than on a birth year provided by the person. Again, depending on whether the person’s birthday was before or after the census enumeration, the result can be a birth year that is off by one.

I think the Lists -> Source Lists -> Print mechanism is an extremely clumsy way to get a list of associated users of a source because there is so much clutter in the list that it's hard just to see the people. It does work, and it's extremely easy to create the report. But having created the report, the report is very clumsy to use. If you want to go at it from from the side of the People, you can do a Find for all the people using the source from within RM Explorer, you can color code the people, or you can make a Named Group of the people. And having made a Named Group of the people, you can put just that Named Group into People View. The criteria for search or marking a group would be something like Source (general) + Name Contains + (the name of the Master Source) OR Any Fact + Source + Name Contains + (the name of the Master Source). In this case, "Name" is not the name of the person. Rather, it is the name of the Master source.

Margie, FamilySearch has turned off the API endpoints for the requests list and card tracking. They said there aren't enough people using those endpoints (features).

> So, when census is the ONLY source I have, I enter > Abt 1792 > Then, later, if I get better info, I change the date. I totally agree. I think that "abt 1792" reads much better and in a sense is really more correct than "1791/1792". I use "estimated" rather than "about" when there is even more uncertainty than what is provided in the census. Jerry

I enter one birth fact with one birth date. I include a birth fact note which describes and explains any uncertainties and discrepancies. The birthdate I enter is the one I consider to be mostly likely to be correct. If the only source for the birth date is several census entries, I usually (but not always) choose the earliest census in which the person appears. I'm certainly aware that merely because a person was 2 years old in the 1850 it doesn't mean that they were born in 1848, even if the 2 year old age for the 1850 census was correct. Absent any information about the day within the year when they were born, their birthday in 1850 could have been before or after the census enumeration. But I just don't like the way a report reads if they were born in 1847/48. It is enlightening to discover the occasional family that was enumerated twice in the same census year, sometimes only a few weeks apart. The ages of the family members can be widely divergent between the two enumerations. So I don't think it's worth really stressing about whether somebody was born in 1847 vs. in 1848 when there really is no way ever to know. And even the persons themselves might not know. I have seen military pension applications where the soldier knows that they were born on July 17 (for example), but where the soldier nevertheless is not quite sure of the year in which he was born.

So I did a little experiment. I unchecked all the choices on the left except Individual media items and Documents--nothing on the report. Slowly I checked each box and sometimes I had nothing on the report and sometimes I had about 4 documents from this ancestor (there should be 24 documents associated with this ancestor as that is what prints out at the bottom of the 3-page report that includes many of the wrong documents). However, when I had all the boxes checked under "Include which items in the list" and Documents under Media types to include, I then added Photographs by checking that box and that's when I got the 3 pages of multimedia items which included those that did not belong to the individual. Could there be a glitch with the choice Photographs? Unfortunately, if I uncheck Photographs and check All the boxes on the left EXCEPT Photographs, I only get 4 documents when there should be at least 24.DARN!!!

As I see it you are trying to enter both dates. RM only accepts one, but will accept a range of dates such as 1792 or 1793. Enter them as 1792-1793 and indicate the sources in the Birth Note box. I would go back and double check the census records to be sure they are the same person. Checking the household members might help there, where even numbers for ages could match. If thed info was from a census that used age ranges then that would explain the range used on Birth dates..

I am trying to run a Multimedia Report for ONE individual but I keep getting multimedia items in the report that are associated with other people not my ancestor. I click on Reports > Lists > Multimedia List I open the report, click on the button that shows People to Include: Everyone. In the dropdown menu, I choose Select which takes me to the list of people in my database. I then choose the individual by checking the box next to his name, then click OK. The report that prints is 3 pages long. The beginning of the report has multimedia items that have nothing to do with my individual. I looked for one of the items in my multimedia folder: Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, George STEIN (KNZ3-ZQ4) (Census) I then found the multimedia attached to George STEIN but it is tagged to: Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Robert STEIN (Census) [person icon] George Stein Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, George STEIN (Residence) Cite: Census, UK, 1861 -- Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, George STEIN (Census) [person icon] George STEIN (Census) The person whose multimedia I wanted to print out is from my Irish line and his name is Francis MCCUE. I have no data on him from outside the US and he was from Ireland not Scotland, so why does this multimedia item print out when I ask for multimedia items for Francis MCCUE? There are others in the multimedia report that have nothing to do with this person: Census, US, 1880, Troy, NY -- BENOIT, John (my Irish ancestor died in 1879) Death Certificate -- BELDIN, Sylvester, 1927-Emporium, PA (not even my ancestral lines--my husband's) There are 26 other files in this list that have nothing to do with Francis MCCUE. So either there is a glitch in the program or I don't know how to run a Multimedia Report. Any suggestions on how to run a report just for my ancestor, Francis McCUE? Thanks Margie in Washington State

Oh, I see. This is about what to enter. When I have two or three different dates I either enter all of them or enter a range of dates. Whether it's proper doesn't bother me. The fact that Roots Magic lets me enter what I see fit and then actually prints it out on reports, was one of several key criteria in my decision to use Rootsmagic. If you don't put all of the information, then when you upload your data to a place like Ancestry that won't display your notes, people will blindly copy your not necesssarily right information, and it will profiferate all over the Internet.

And, almost always, the person being asked is not the person in question but a member of the family. So, when census is the ONLY source I have, I enter Abt 1792 Then, later, if I get better info, I change the date.

I just put in my notes, first, the contents of both censuses, and I might note the fact that the birthdate is 2 years apart if I'm using the census as a source on the birthdate. I only do general notes; I don't do separate notes on events. I had the darndest time establishing when my great grandfather was really born, because when he got older, ran out on his wife and remarried (without benefit of divorce), he also made himself consistently around five years younger than he was. So he appeared to be younger than he was even on his death certificate, because he'd evidently told wife 2 every sort of lie and she was the informant on his death certificate. Then there was my aunt's closet full of his naughty light opera... when he remarried he and wife 2 were both living in a house full of opera singers or theater actors or something and I think they all worked at one place.

Census are historically wrong about birth data. Some census takers ask how old the person is, some ask (as they should) how old at the next birthday. And, almost always, the person being asked is not the person in question but a member of the family. So, when census is the ONLY source I have, I enter Abt 1792 Then, later, if I get better info, I change the date.
