Say where you found it

Add a source to a fact, so you always know why you believe it.

Before you begin

Open the page of a person who has a birth date.

To find a person, type their name in the search box and choose Search. Then choose the card with their name.

Choose the small chip beside Birth.

It shows a number and a plus sign, such as 0 +.

A screen named Sources opens.
Choose Add source, then Add a new source.
In Title, type where you know this from.

For example, My birth certificate or Mum told me. Only this box is needed.
Choose Save source.
Choose Done, then Done again.

The number on the chip goes up by one.

The fact now has a source. Later, when two records disagree, this is how you will know what to believe.
