I'm cleaning up my sources. Source types don't transfer between FTM and iFamily, so I'm editing my sources and adding types. But I'm finding that the existing default list of source types doesn't have all the " types" I need. For example, there's nothing about immigration records. How do I edit the...

Many of my ancestors do not use their first name, or are known by a nickname that may bear no resemblance to their real name. This causes some confusion when I do reports - for example, a report on my great uncle that I produced for a cousin calls him Cecil all the way through when the world knew h...
