I think I will put the text of the article in the Notes section for each person. The existing events are already sourced to vital records, but I will also refer them to the newspaper article which ties them all together.
Thanks for your ideas.

The newspaper article in question relates to a number of events about the whole family so no one event would cover it.
So I will just include the source information in the text of the article.

I have entered some information (extract from a newspaper) in the Notes field for a person. I cannot see how to attribute the source of this information, other than including it in the notes. Or are Notes non-attributable?

Tom, Thanks for persevering with your queries. I now understand what you are saying. I assumed, from some dodgy reasoning, that each computer's iFamily application had to have its own iFamilyData folder. That's why I put each of them in Dropbox, but only used one FtkSql file in a separate folder in ...

They could easily still reside in their respective comp...

Thanks for your reply Tom. It seemed to me that the iFamily application in each computer required its own iFamilyData file. I tried to put them both in the one Dropbox folder but the transfer was not allowed. I did not try again for fear of causing problems. I have only just got this process going s...

I have successfully arranged iFamily to work using Dropbox as a common file location. I wanted to be able to work on my data files on either of my two networked computers. Firstly I transferred each computer's iFamilyData files into separate folders in Dropbox using File>Move Data Directory. I then ...

I have found the answer by trawling back through previous posts. In case others are interested I have pasted the answer below. It was just what I was looking for. Robin. If you click on the space above the person name - immediately below the context diagram (just to the left of where the ID is shown...

I have imported a Gedcom file from Reunion into iFamily and have found that the unmarried partner of a person is shown as a married/husband in iFamily. I can't find a way to revert the married status to unmarried. I tried creating a similar family in a test file and find that iFamily treats this kin...
