Can someone clarify for me whether Shared Facts behave differently in reports than individually entered facts? I know there is a difference between individual facts and family facts, but can never remember what differences, if any, there are for shared facts? Is there any reason to avoid the use of shared facts? Connie

Connie, I found that the shared facts don't show up on the Research Notes report except on the person who is doing the sharing. For that reason I stopped using shared facts.

I have not used shared facts except in the very beginning. I thought they might make the census info easier to input. BUT based on feedback, I stopped using it. What are people using it for that they think it works well for?

I've used it all the time, as soon as it as announced. I share : Fact (roles) christening (godparent, witness) Death (witness, informant on the death certificate) Marriage (witnesses) will (witnesses, inheritors, executors) Residence (inhabitants) Family Census (family members,boarders,visitors) burial (Person buried in same plot) MI (other names on the stone) The last is my own fact for a memorial inscription. I add it to the primary name, then share with others named on the stone. >> Is there any reason to avoid the use of shared facts? No! Some reports don't print all the shared fact info, but if in the future, they do, you're ready for them. If you don't share the fact, then you'll have to edit the witness, etc, and generate a miscellaneous fact, or a note, to say they were present at such and such an event. Why do all that, when shared facts are available? -- Regards Dave
