What is the difference between a fact and a source. Which is better for a narrative report? i.e. military separation report,
A fact is something that happened, birth, death, marriage, military service etc. A source it the thing that you got this information from, birth certificate, death certificate, obituary, marriage license, marriage certificate, military separation report etc…
If you are planning a narrative report, then you want/need facts. The above named sources are just proof of the information contained in the facts. A source is a way that any future researchers will have to verify you didn’t just make up all of the details about a person.
Hi! This is very helpful & well written/explained. Thank you so much. Another question: can you add photo’s to this narrative using RM8 publish?
Would you add the photo to the fact?
Thank you!

The only photos included in narrative reports are the single Primary photo tagged to Person (General).
Other non-primary photos for Person, Facts or Couple, Facts can be included in a Scrapbook report for Person or for Couple. Source and Citation photos are not included in any report for a Person or Couple.
