Recovering sources

When you need it. A Family imported before TreeLine kept source

citations has its Events but not the sources they cited.

Where to find it. Update Family › Recover sources only….

How to use it.

  1. Use a file this Family was imported or updated from, or choose the file

    again.
  2. Check what would be recovered shows the citations to add, the

    Events they belong to and the new sources. Nothing has changed yet;

    anything not matched is not touched.
  3. Recover these sources adds them.

What to expect. Only the sources and citations are added: no person,

Event detail, relationship or TreeLine design is changed. A complete

backup of the Family is made and checked first, and if there is nothing

to add, nothing is changed.
