How do I find out which individuals have links to a particular source?


1. Select the source in the main Records Window.

2. Open up the View menu and select Record Links…

3. The Record Links Dialogue will appear showing all individuals with Citations linked to this source.

  • In the example shown this source (for a census record) has citations linking to 9 people who all appeared in the census household that the source refers to. You will see that four of the individuals have 2 links each. This is because the source is linked to census event for all 9 people and to an occupation attribute for 4 of them.
  • By selecting an individual in the Record Links dialogue it is possible to go straight to the properties for that individual by clicking on the Go To button.

Version 5 Plugin

With Version 5 a plugin is available which has a couple of advantages over the standard option as it shows the actual item (fact or event) which the source is linked to and double clicking on it in the results window will take you directly to the correct place in the Property Box.
