Person Sheet

[Sue McCormick]

When I first began serious genealogy work i placed this information into Reunion attached to a Source/citation

"As of 5/7/2008 nothing form this source has been verified by SWM."

It was a fairly smart note for a beginner. But, of course it is no longer true. I have reworked that initial version of Source 2 at least 3 times in the 9 years since I created the statement. Nothing on the screen shows the note. It's not in the note's section (and wouldn't be, this source is attached to about 300 people, and I would not have made 300 notes.

Can anyone figure out where this out-of-date message is stored so that I can eliminate it? The only time that I see it is attached to Source 2 when I print out a person sheet for any of those 300+ people.

It sounds like it might be in the citation detail field (If so, you would have added it to the file 300 times, which may be what you mean about the note's section.) But you might have things set up so source details only appear when printed, so it's still worth a search.

Search the manual for "Finding Citation Detail" for further specifics, but essentially you open the Sources sidebar, click on source 2, click the source tools button (the hammer); select "Find Citation Detail" and look for Detail / Contains / "verified".

If this turns out to be where it is, you'd have to blank out the detail field 300 times....
