Sources are importants, multiples and can be shared. They are often shared between events. Otherwise, we may group them under a repository (archive, librairie, folder, etc ...)

GRAMPS gives us a lot of freedom for seizure. It is not always a good solution. How adding sources and using the power of GRAMPS ?

Seizure with example

The test case

A death certificate on 1809-05-13, stored at Country Archives of New-York, with call-number : 6Mi5202, for Miss X who dead on previous day.

One possibility

  1. event seizure : Death - 1809-05-12 - New-York, NY, USA
  2. we add a source : Death certificate of X (died on 1809-05-12)
  3. related to a repository : Country Archives of New-York - call number: 6Mi5202
  4. we validate seizures
  5. we may add date (1809-05-13), volume, page and source fiability. This informations will be only availables between the event (Death of Miss X) and this source. They will be used on Detailed reports as EndNotes.
