Thus the simple matching of an unlinked SourceID and Fields values from the CitationTable with citations that do have TreeShare links, as used for Ancestry Sources is insufficient for Other Sources. Its extID value appears to be person or even event-dependent. A link is (unreliably) established between the RM Citation and the Other Source as a record in the LinkAncestryTable.

The 10 is a line number, which isnt essential, and the 4-letter code is. The source citation is The National Archives reference RG101/2941C/002 RG101 is the record series, 2941C is the piece (enumeration book) and 2 (or 002) is the page. « Reply 7 on: Saturday 21 November 15 02:07 GMT (UK) ». RM created sources are uploaded by TreeShare to become “Other Sources” on the Ancestry Tree. Re: Source Citation Help Please - 1939 Register. That procedure would not suffer the ambiguity that the above script has to deal with for Other Sources because it cannot know which linked citation was the original where there are multiples. The Memorise-Paste function should be enhanced to memorise the extID of the linked citation along with its CitationID and to paste both the new Citation record and the new LinkAncestryTable record with the original extID. TreeShare-LinkPastedAncestrySources Rev excludes OtherSources Note to RootsMagic Developers It is certainly more convenient and faster. I cannot say yet whether either is any less safe than closing and reopening TreeShare to carry out the updates. Compare Search ( Please select at least 2 keywords ) Most Searched Keywords. Safest approach is to close out of TreeShare, run the script and reopen TreeShare to work through the updates to the Ancestry Tree.įor a newly downloaded Tree in which editing is just beginning, it is possible to run the script while in the Edit Person screen launched from TreeShare or even in the TreeShare Compare screen. Possibly there are types of Ancestry Sources whose extID in RM is NOT independent of the person or event, the principal on which the script was designed.
This script creates a TreeShare link for such pasted Ancestry Sources from that of the original linked Ancestry Source.

The TreeShare update to the Ancestry Tree creates a new Other Source rather than linking to the Ancestry Source. Of course, a GEDCOM will transfer your source citations so that others know where you found your data, but people you share it with will not have direct access to those sources.
When a TreeShare linked Ancestry Source is Memorised and Pasted through RootsMagic Citation Manager, the pasted source loses its TreeShare link.
