Notice that the template had a field for "Record series" which you filled in as Birth Certificates. But that key piece of information did not become part of the citation. I'm finding that in several templates. This is what makes templates and EE citations exhausting.<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-71306113933174625182011-11-03T14:40:19.976-07:002011-11-03T14:40:19.976-07:00Randy,

So, for example, you want that Citation on the Name, or any other information on that Birth Certificate. You and just enter the New Fact or select and Existing Fact, then click on Source (new), but the down arrow just to the right, and select Use Existing.<br /><br />You can move quickly through that various Facts that you might want to use that SAME citation on.<br /><br />Just a word a caution here. What the Check Mark to the right of the Citation Text box to make sure that you want to use the Citation Text or not use the Citation Text.<br /><br />Lets say that the Mother's name is on that birth certificate. You could put something in the Citation Text about that, and NOT have that additional information included in the Reference Note.<br /><br />There are options to be aware of in the area. But, spending a couple of minutes watching what happens in these fields may make the job of documentation easier.<br /><br />Just a thought.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.com
