V. R. Collection. I don't use Roots Magic but I was getting frustrated on how I wanted this source and citation to look. Just one more thing should Delene and Jay Holbrook be included in the citation? Any way I like the way yours looks and the most important thing how do I find it again. By the way I grew up with a lot of Sartelle's in Pepperell I was born in Groton Thanks again<br /><br />Rob YoungAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16263336029493577057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-41199018678139645532014-03-19T06:36:24.166-07:002014-03-19T06:36:24.166-07:00Edward, I did not miss Randy's statement of hi...Edward, I did not miss Randy's statement of his objective, which he gets to in step 5.<br /><br />What is missing from what you quote is a following sentence as to method, such as "Opening my RootsMagic6 tree with Ephraim Sawtell, and going to his Edit page . . . ." which could have been accompanied by a screenshot that would have made Randy's narrative clearer.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-47192458055432007192014-03-18T18:11:47.927-07:002014-03-18T18:11:47.927-07:00Geolover, looks like you missed the reference to R...Geolover, looks like you missed the reference to RootsMagic in Step 2.

The two i...Thank you for the clarification, Randy.<br /><br />The two images after "2) Here is the "Media" tab view for Ephraim Sawtell" are Ancestry Member Tree pages. There is no "media" tab or button in the AMT "Edit Person" page.<br /><br />The "Media" button you meant was in your RootsMagic6 page for the person.<br /><br />You had not mentioned working from RootsMagic at the beginning of the description of this task. You do not mention going to RootsMagic until step 5, attaching image in RM6 database.<br /><br />It would be helpful to mention what program and page within it you are working from for each action, if not obvious from the illustrations.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-37589829746551651722014-03-18T12:49:26.241-07:002014-03-18T12:49:26.241-07:00I'm sorry, the "Media" button is on ...I'm sorry, the "Media" button is on the "Edit Person" screen which I didn't show. I misspoke "tab" when I should have used "button." <br /><br />In RootsMagic, you attach Media items to persons and then tag the event and/or source. I've shown the "Edit Person" screen many times in my blog posts, but i'll add one to the post for completeness.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-18607887188526014572014-03-18T10:24:36.456-07:002014-03-18T10:24:36.456-07:00Randy, thanks for this example.
You say:
"2...Randy, thanks for this example.<br /><br />You say:<br /><br />"2) Here is the "Media" tab view for Ephraim Sawtell"<br /><br />What do you mean by ~"Media" tab~, and where is it?<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-23774210878494765692014-03-18T07:04:32.061-07:002014-03-18T07:04:32.061-07:00Oh Randy, you are so disciplined!
