I have just purchased RM9 and the first job I did was to import from [Ancestry.com](http://Ancestry.com). All details have come over with no issues, however the media whilst linked to the correct person is not related to the event in the facts for that person. All seem tagged to the named person in the top section of the fact page.  
When opening the media window for a person all the thumbnails and images are there so how can I get each image to relate to the date/event/item in the facts, and then trigger the media icon appearing in the grid.  
Thanks

The source media will not show in the grid under media. You can add a media tag by going into the source media and open the Edit Media panel. Click on Add (+) and select Event. Then select the person and fact that you want the media to appear.
