38 Building a Tree In this case, an appropriate fact exists for the information we want to enter. If the fact we wanted to use was not found in the list (for example, college graduation), we could simply add it by clicking the New button in the Add Fact window. Family Tree Maker would then add it to the list of facts for future use. Notice that the Occupation fact is added to the list and the editing panel on the right-hand side has fields you can complete for the Occupation fact. 5. In the Description field, enter “Kindergarten assistant”. Since we don’t have a specific date or location for this fact, you can leave the Date and Place fields blank. The description is added to the Individual and Shared Facts section. For each fact you enter, you’ll want to record the “source” of the information. A source is any material where you find information related to the fact or event, such as a book, database, or person. Sources help you prove that the facts you’ve entered in your tree are accurate and also help others retrace or verify your information. For now, we’ll enter a basic source citation for the occupation fact you just created.
Family Tree Maker 39 Adding a Source for a Fact 1. In the Individual and Shared Facts section, click the Occupation fact. In the editing panel, you should see “Occupation” and the description “Kindergarten assistant.” Beneath this you’ll see a small Sources tab. This is where you will add a source citation for the Occupation fact (see figure 2-14). Figure 2-14. Sources tab Sources in Genealogy Citing sources can be complicated; if you’d like to learn more, Elizabeth Shown Mills’s Evidence! Citation and Analysis for the Family Historian (Genealogical Publishing Co., 1997) is a well accepted reference for sourcing your genealogical research.
