Recent buyer of Reunion 10. Been away from genealogy since Ancestral Quest ver 1.5. 20 years? So I exported various family groups as gedcoms and created new Reunion family files and imported. Simple enough but not without questions about "sources".
All my sources, e.g. census, marriage, death etc.- are in the "Notes" area for each individual. It works but I'm not using the full potential of Reunion. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Rupert in the "Best Practices" thread says to create the source first before entering the name. Well, I'm too late for that.
I noticed in one small file of 58 individuals I rec'd from a relative that all their sources are of the "Free Form" type. But they're 58 sources, most of which are the same entry - Family Bible. That doesn't appear very useful.
In the meantime back to the tutorial and practicing on dummy files.
