All very helpful for the 1950 Preparation work, but not so much for the reader of the book. Understanding those 3 sources, and what they contain, I have marked any information, that were turned into Facts, in FTM2019, I marked as Private, so they will not appear in the Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) nor will they appear in the next printing of the Book.</div><div><br /></div><div>I want to see those Facts in FTM2019, and I want the Online Tree (AMT) to have a link to the Record, but ONLY for the Name and Birth Date FACTS, that were on the Record.

To..... 1) Person or 2) Media workspace w source & citation?
</span></div></blockquote><p><i><span style="color: #cc0000;">That depends:</span></i></p><p>I work on Media files in the Media Workspace. BUT, I also ALWAYS have a Citation on my Media Files. And I create Citations FIRST. So to answer your question, based on What I do, I start in the Sources Workspace, Create / Craft the Citation and ADD that Media File to the Citation. </p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I started updating my media with sources & citations but notice that linking the photo to a person, person's name or other fact does not add to the Person media on the bottom left panel. </span></div></blockquote><p>When I have the Citation, now with the media file, I then LINK to the Profile, Normally, just to the Person, not any Fact. (using a photo as the example). I would only link a media file to a Fact, if that media item was a document, saved as a Media File.</p><p>I don't and any media files in the People Workspace, Person Tab. (your bottom left panel). I want that media file with a Citation. In the Media File, Description, I also Paste the Citation. If it is a group photo, for example, above the Citation would me Left to Right: .... type of information describing who is in the photo.</p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should I always add media to the Person lower left panel? I feel all media associated with a person should appear here then when you click on a fact in the upper panel the media will also appear in the right panel associated with a source/citation.</span></div></blockquote><p>You certainly can do what you want, I can only share what I do.</p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is this lower left panel's function?</span></div></blockquote><p>Lower Left Panel, on what screen? </p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Is that panel just for my viewing? </span></div></blockquote><p>If you want to look at a Media File, Media Workspace and select the Media file and if you double click it will become larger. Not exactly sure what you are asking. </p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I read that if you wish to have your family file backups smaller then do not add the Media by copying but rather choose the LINK option. Keeping my family file smaller and utiilizing a separate media folder on my computer is preferred.</span></div></blockquote><p>It depends on what you want that back up to do, later on. Yes, if you do not include Media the FBC file will be Smaller, like an Automatic Back Up. No Media files.</p><p>Again, my opinion. I want ONE File for ALL of the Media Files for that one Family Tree Maker File. < filename > Media. The Media files in the Folder, will ALWAYS BE Copies, for me. The original media files will be in separate folders on my computer. The only Media files that I don't have elsewhere on my computer are Record Media files from Ancestry.</p><p>Is sounds like you are trying deal with diskspace in your question. I MOVE all of my Back Up files, including Media Files, from my Hard drive to an External Hard Drive. Both my hard drive and external drives are backed up to the Cloud automatically.</p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I tested with 2 different media by ADD NEW MEDIA to a PERSON one by top option (copy) and 2nd by bottom option (link) and cannot see what is really happening. I have read everything on your blog and the Family Tree Maker Companion Guide but nothing seems to show me this specific situation.
</span></div></blockquote><p>Sorry, don't understand. Try my suggestion then see if that gets at your question. Use a one or two person test file.</p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The link vs copy option seems to come up in a few situations when dealing with Media and the choice may be different depending on where/how it the Media was first added. If I understand what happens with one piece of new media then cleanup of existing media will be simpler.</span></div></blockquote><p>As I said earlier, I ALWAYS use the Copy option, NOT Link. The Link allows you to use a Media file somewhere on your computer. When you do a Back Up, that Media file will NOT be included. The link will be there and there is a "find missing media" utility, but I want EVERYTHING for that file, using the Compact and Back Up feature, in the Tools Menu, where the Back Up includes the Media Files.</p><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lynn</span></div></blockquote><blockquote><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">FTM2019 (started researching in 1999 ... on an off again)</span></div></blockquote><p>All of the above lets me sleep at night, knowing that if something happens to my computer or family tree maker database, I can recover quickly. Oh, and yes, it has happened to me. </p><blockquote><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>____________________________________________________________

As mentioned in an earlier post, if attempt to get each profile, with each Census Record that I should be able to find for them. If I don't have a specific year, I put that in the ToDo list, so it is obvious to me that I need to look for it, or a Hint that will take me to that "missing" record.

Again, it's in the ToDo list for the profile, but it is also in the Plan Workspace. Today, I was working on my "Missing Death Date" in the 1950 Census TaskList Category and was looking at my Hint list, to see who might have Hints for a Death Index. Most of this file is in or around New Jersey, so I really only had ONE Record Collection on Ancestry to look at. I have 30 Hints, for this file, in that record group.

I spent some time trying to figure out HOW to use the information we learned and put that into FTM2019, so that I could get right to the Census Record, to the ED where I "might" find that person or family, in the 1950 Census. Knowing that I will probably have to, manually, view the Images to find the person or family that I am trying to find.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I will demonstrate the us of the </span><b style="background-color: antiquewhite; text-align: -webkit-center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://stevemorse.org/" target="_blank">One-Step Webpages by Stephen P. Morse</a></span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">This Video will demonstrate HOW I will leave <b>bread crumbs</b> to that ED, with a click of a Mouse. Basically, that bread crumb will be in the Citation for the Residence Fact for 1950.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J3XhC7ae6yw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><a href="about:invalid#zSoyz"></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">This is why I spent my preparation for this Census, collecting Census records, and Address information from many different records.</span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">As I was recording this, I took another step. I could have use the Address Fact, profile by profile, but the next step was to use the "Bread Crumb" for one person, to everyone who may also have that address in their profile. The Household that I selected at random, gave me examples for what other Profiles I can leave that same bread crumb and who I would NOT use.</span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.85px;">Because I use the <b>Smart Filter Feature</b> of FTM2019, I can then Filter OUT, every profile, where there is a Residence Fact DATE: of 01 April 1950. This is not included in this Video, but will probably do another Video on this Feature, as I have been using it during this process.</span></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><b>References:</b> </span><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><b>1 -</b> Preparation for the <a href="https://ftmuser.blogspot.com/search/label/Census1940" style="color: #336699; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><b>1940 US Federal Census</b></a> on this blog already, can be found in the "Census1940" Label.

I have narrowed mine to 383 source groups as of now. I didn't see this topic on your website except for the video where you said don't just merge Censuses because they are from different locations. Thanks in advance. </span></span></div></blockquote><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I don't want to streamline my Source Group List. So, I am not sure I can help you. You can submit your request from the Help Menu of FTM2019.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Having said that, why don't I want to streamline my Source Group List. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">First, I don't normally work from that list. That is starting to do something from the Source Group list. I do go the Source Workspace frequently. I do want to see, in your Census example, the Census Year, by State, and County. The Census Source Template feature allows for just the Year, or Year and Location. I want the Year and Location.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I spend a lot of time on my Sources and Citations, but I want to see the details. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Another example, for me, Email Citations. I have a Source Group for each "cousin" that I have emailed with, as the "cousin" as a Source Group. I would also have a Source Group for myself and each of those "cousins". The Cousin Source Group would be those emails FROM that Cousin, and My Source Group would be TO that Cousin.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Remember, please, that I use the Source Template Feature 100% of the time.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">IF that doesn't answer your question, Please (</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Marnie) help me understand what you mean by "streamline". I am guessing shortening the Source Group List. The way I use them, I need to understand what you are trying to accomplish.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;">____________________________________________________________

Mine has certainly changes a bit over time, but as I work through my Media Files I am making sure that I have been consistent.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are two things to remember about Family Tree Maker and it's sorting of Media Files. Sort by Filename OR Sort by Caption. Keep in mind that when you Sync to an Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) File Names are NOT involved. Ancestry sorts by Caption.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a example of a Record for a Profile:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>File Name</b></div><div>Surname-Firstname_Middlename-Suffix-YYYY-Event</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Caption</b> (for the same record)</div><div>Firstname Middlename Surname Suffix - YYYY - Event</div><div><br /></div><div>Same information but the order is different</div><div><br /></div><div>But, what about same named people. This works, at least in my database. The biggest reason is the Date and Event, in both the Filename and the Caption. My grandfather, father, and I all have the SAME Name. My Dad would be a Jr, and I would be a III. Those are the preferred Names, that are documented that way. So, the Preferred Name is in the Filename and Caption. Yes, they may change over time. So, I just Rename the File (within Family Tree Maker) and redo the Caption.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>What about Females ?</b></div><div><br /></div><div>I ONLY use Maiden / Birth Surnames.</div><div><br /></div><div>But, I don't know her birth surname ! - ALL Unknown names, I use 5 Underscores [ _____ ] for both Firstnames and Lastnames or Surnames. I have blogged about this in the past.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Place Names:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Smallest to Largest in the Place Name field for a Fact.</div><div><br /></div><div>City / Town, Township, County, State, County</div><div><br /></div><div>I ADD the word Township and County, as appropriate that meet the Place Name Authority in Family Tree Maker. The exception is Historical Place names, again, I have blogged about that.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, I have Pictures, in the "Cemetery" Database. What about them?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Caption:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Cemetery Name, City / Town, Township (if appropriate), County, State (no Country, if it is in the USA)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Filename:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>State-County-City-Cemetery</div><div><br /></div><div>The caption is smallest to largest, the Filename is Largest to smallest.</div><div><br /></div><div>This works great, for me, using either way of sorting in Family Tree Maker.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is a Trick, that may or may not be obvious.</div><div><br /></div><div>My Goal is for the filenames or captions to be Readable. People's name or Place names.</div><div><br /></div><div>A <b>DASH</b> separates the pieces of the Name, as described here. AN <b>UNDERSCORE </b>keeps the fields together. For example, the Firstname and Middlename are separated with an Underscore. I want those to be a different part of a person name, from the Surname. (I do NOT use ALL Caps anywhere).</div><div><br /></div><div>The filename for a Cemetery, where I want to spell out the word County, is</div><div><br /></div><div>New_Jersey-Camden_County-Haddonfield-Grace_Episcopal_Church_Memorial_Garden</div><div><br /></div><div>State - County - City - Cemetery</div><div><br /></div><div>No spaces in a Filename, Normal Spaces in the Caption.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another example: I add the Time that I do a Back Up</div><div><br /></div><div>Master-2019-2021-09-23-1507</div><div><br /></div><div>My Master File, in FTM2019, backed up in 2021, September 23 at 1507. </div><div><br /></div><div>Filename-Version-YYYY-MM-DD-TIME</div><div><br /></div><div>ln my Custom Back Up folder my Back Up files are in Filename order date and time order, so I know which is the most recent.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have a Fan_Club Family Tree Maker file, so it's filename is Fan_Club.</div><div><br /></div><div>The use of the Underscores replace a Space, the Dash separates the elements of a Filename.</div><div><br /></div><div>The choice for the Sort by Filename or Caption is in the Tool, Options, General Tab</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqc2lIFgX0lEfjK29xPQvjeXAZ5YxYL7c-Jg176Q1CBciO4VfZ4Nxvzw6HsSsVhSJFHM37NTUEKRthZK9UKO-jX_L-N6KkkB4kZUPqBZUiVNbxvK2bgE0HWr-ty46vensQ-M_qmfZ_Ew/s565/2021-09-23_151324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="471" data-original-width="565" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqc2lIFgX0lEfjK29xPQvjeXAZ5YxYL7c-Jg176Q1CBciO4VfZ4Nxvzw6HsSsVhSJFHM37NTUEKRthZK9UKO-jX_L-N6KkkB4kZUPqBZUiVNbxvK2bgE0HWr-ty46vensQ-M_qmfZ_Ew/w393-h328/2021-09-23_151324.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><br /><div>Again, it is your choice, but this one works for me.

What I started with, was to Move any Find A Grave entries, in the Person Notes field, to the <b>Find A Grave Memorial #</b> <b>Fact Notes</b> Field. I had notes in both places but wanted them ALL to be in the Fact Notes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have only reviewed the start of the alphabet, up to the letter D. I am doing a Surname by Surname letters to keep track of where I am. Using the Filter In Feature, I used the Find A Grave Memorial # Fact as my<b> Filter.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I finish a letter or series of names, I remove them from the Filter. So, it's easy to keep track of where I am.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To date: I have reduced <b>35 Pages of Person Notes</b>, and have added <b>11 Pages of Fact Notes</b>. Going in the right direction, as I had hoped. I have 322 profiles that have the Find A Grave Fact.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I am doing this review, I look at the Burial Fact, to make sure that the Cemetery in that Fact is in my "<b>Cemetery" database</b>, which is a Citation. I have <b>81 Cemeteries</b> in that Database. So far, that means that ALL of the Cemetery Information from the Find A Grave website, is ALL in ONE place. I had a number of Burial Fact Notes with information about the cemetery, which is why I created the Cemetery Database. That database is anything I can find on the Find A Grave website about the cemetery, including physical locate, contact information (some time), former Cemetery Names, most helpful, and other comments. I don't have to remember to put cemetery information in the Burial Fact Notes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, with the focus on Find A Grave, I was reminded that when there was a change in "ownership" of the Website other things changed. For example, some Memorials did NOT have Cemetery Locations. Many of those Memorials were removed. I HAD marked, in the ToDo list, those memorials in two ways. The <b>ToDo list</b> AND in the Find A Grave Memorial # Fact AFTER the number. So, looking at the Find A Grave custom report I created, I could SEE those memorials I used to have, that no longer exist.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At last count, there are <b>30 such memorials that no longer exist</b>. But, some of them had been replaced. I have been tracking that. I had <b>79 "missing" memorials</b>, so I have been finding some of them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have also made sure that IF I have a Find A Grave Index record, that I also have the information from the Find A Grave website. I have about 65 of those identified.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I have been doing in the past, but have been really focusing on this Clean Up (<b>Genealogy Do-Over</b>, my style) to make sure that I have my Evernote Notebook Up to date.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Time consuming, yes, but so worth the time an effort when I do more work on my Prep work for the 1950 Census Release.</div><br /></div><div> ____________________________________________________________

I found notes back to 1997, which reminded me of how long I have been working on this SAME File. More importantly, I was reminded of the Changes that the program has made over the years. Most of the clean up was caused by those changes, which, in fact, is a Good Thing.<div><br /></div><div>The biggest push, for me, to take the TIME to clean up, is the use of the Research Log (Notes) and Person Notes. Most of the work was to take Person Notes out of the Research Notes Tab and move them into the Person Notes Tab.</div><div><br /></div><div>I started with <b>742 PAGES of Research Notes and ended with 578 Pages of Research Note</b>s.</div><div><br /></div><div>About <b>800 Pages of Person Notes that ended up with 919 Pages of Person Notes.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>I now have NO (0 - Zero) Notes that can be seen in the Ancestry Member Tree. Mostly because of the formatting, or lack of formatting in the AMT. It looks very bad in an AMT, so I marked them ALL Private (for now), for the AMT.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I started this clean up, I realized that in about 2014, I changed the formatting of the DATE in the Research Log and saw where I had played around with several formats in 2014. I took this time to Reform the dates, using the Find and Replace feature in FTM2019 and updated about 1,150 Entries.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I was reminded about the amount of resource material I have in the Person Notes tab. The plan going forward is to work on those Private Person Notes. Mostly for myself, but may re-consider making them public.</div><div><br /></div><div>The other MAJOR clean up was to Mark ALL FACTS as Private, with the exception of Birth, Marriage, and Death Facts. I now have a record of the FACTS that I use, and have already Deleted 5 or 10 Facts along the way. Mostly, early Facts that I didn't clean up earlier.</div><div><br /></div><div>I now have an Evernote Notebook with the Facts I have reviewed already, and how I want to use them. For example, my Military Facts are out of control. I had not documented, at the time, how I was going to use them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, I realized that I had some Fact Notes information in the Person Notes Tab. Again, it's one of those things I changed over time, but hadn't made time to clean up those changes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of the 919 Person Notes Pages, I expect that number to go down, as the 488 Fact Notes Pages, goes UP. </div><div><br /></div><div>My goal is to be Consistent and to document how I do "stuff" in my File.</div><div><br /></div><div>AND, I have 1,682 Profiles without Documentation, meaning at least ONE Fact without a Citation. I know who they are, but this review have me hints that I really do have the information about where I got that information, just hadn't entered it correctly.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Filter In, Filter Out feature is my best friend going forward. That is why the FACT Review was and IS so important, as that is what the Filters help with. Knowing who has Undocumented Facts, helps, but along the way, with earlier Do-Over's, I have notes as to where to look for the Citations for those Facts.</div><div><br /></div>____________________________________________________________

So, as I was into a specific Surname list, in the log, I saw these entries.

I have a "Notebook" in <b>Evernote</b> where I keep "how I do stuff" in Family Tree Maker. I have a lot of documentation in that Notebook because that is one way for me to Standardize my database. Mainly because I will Forget something. For example, how I use certain Facts.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I Privatized the Facts, I put ALL of the Facts into an EXCEL Spreadsheet, then, one FACT at a time, entered that Fact Name into Evernote, as another Chapter.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since all of the FACTS, with 4 exceptions, are Private, I wanted to Address <b>NOTES</b>. I did a blog post on <a href="https://ftmuser.blogspot.com/2014/04/notes-notes-notes-and-more-notes.html" target="_blank">Notes, Notes, Notes</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>I ran a report in FTM2019, from the Person Collection, Notes, and selected <a href="https://ftmuser.blogspot.com/2012/06/ftm2012-research-notes-options.html" target="_blank">Research Notes</a>. (I have blogged about that as well. Although that was back in the stone ages, (FTM2012) they work about the same.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Report Showed that I had <b>742 Pages of Research Log</b>. The good thing is that they are ALL Marked Private. That was the good news. The BAD News is that many of the Research Log had Person Notes in them. Remembering that Family Tree Maker has added and / moved features over time, and this file is the one I started with in Version 3.4. I had notes where they didn't belong.</div><div><br /></div><div>All of the Person Notes have been privatized already. I did not get a count when I started, but when the <b>Research Log</b> page count was at <b>723 pages</b>, I had <b>765 Pages of Person Notes</b>. So I have been moving (copy / paste) the Person Notes from the Research Log to where they belong.</div><div><br /></div><div>Taking a break from that, I looked at the <b>FACT NOTES</b>: There was <b>208 Pages</b> of Fact Notes that were Public and <b>488 Pages</b> of Fact Notes that are Private. Working on making ALL of them Private.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is where Evernote came into plan. Over time, I have changed how I did "stuff". For example, I created a "Cemetery" database, within this SAME file. I had been entering Cemetery Information in the Burial Fact Notes. I realized that I was retyping a bunch of stuff, so that is when I created the Cemetery database (Profiles with the Cemetery Information). So rather than using the Burial Fact Notes, I created a Link from the Burial Fact to the Cemetery Profile. So I now will go back and clean that up. That is one example of Fact Notes that will clean up.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are also Person Notes, that my "standard" is to Copy / Paste that information into Fact Notes.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the reason for this clean up, is because of the way that Ancestry Member Tree's make (or don't make) Notes available or how they are displayed. They certainly do NOT look like how I have them in FTM2019.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am about 1/4 of the way through my Research Log, but needed a break from that, so I am going after the Fact Notes, to Privatize ALL of them. Then go back to clean them up.</div>____________________________________________________________

I wanted a way to see "who all has Web Links". Understanding the Filter Feature, I created a FACT called "Web Links Tab", and created a Citation for that fact. So, I can create a list of ALL Profiles that have Links in the Tab, but then I can Filter OUT some other Fact. In the Video, I can Filter OUT All profiles that do NOT use the WikiTree Fact that is in use. All profiles that have a WikiTree FACT will have a information in the Web Links Tab, to take me to their Profile on WikiTree.</div><div><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BhdqVG4EIck" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
