Specifically in the Record Group (Source Group) Title<br /><br />2) Experience you have gained. I have a number of FTM2019 Files that use many of the SAME Source Groups. But with each 'new' use, I have learned how I should have do the Source Group and Citations. I put all of my Source Groups in the Source Template Feature, BUT I have also spent time leaning as much as I can about Evidence Explained. The Source Template may not change between Files, but some of them have changed, as I learned the proper EvidenceExplained format.<br /><br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431320127509797635.post-74952773234371293322022-01-29T19:32:10.882-05:002022-01-29T19:32:10.882-05:00Hi, Thank you for a awesome resource!

Is there a way to export sources (not with citations) to a new tree within Family Tree Maker?
