Person References

Overview

You may add Person References items to the Person Entry list to include links to other pages where the person appears. For example, if a person appears in a List of People or on a chart, you may includes links from the person entry back to those pages using the Person References item.

Person Referenes are assigned a type based on the item that creates the reference, and you may select the type of entries you want to appear. See Type Selections.

Each of the items that create references include properties that control whether the reference is created or not. For example, if the Add References property of the List of People User Item is checked, then the List of People will add references for each person included in the list. Otherwise, it will not.

For descendant charts, you may configure the chart to add references for the descendants, and you may choose to add references for spouses, or not.

Links to other people based on relationships or shared events do not appear in a Person References list. Those links are created by relationships or shared events in the GEDCOM file.

Example

The following screenshot shows the output from two Person References items. The first Person References item has the title "Charts" and includes Chart-type references only. The second Person References item has the title "Lists" and includes List-type references only.
