Kris,
I just tried sourcing the relationship of an individual to his father. Here
is how I went about it.
1. Select the father on the Family View screen.
2. Right click on the Children's list.
3. Select "Children's Settings."
4. Select the child you wish to source.
5. In the "Relationship to Father" field, select the relationship
(Biological, Adopted, etc) OR leave it blank.
6. Click on the "Source" icon on the left of the screen.
7. You will be taken to the "Assigned Sources for: Charles L. ADAMS"
screen.
8. Make sure the "Show all Events" box on the left side is checked.
9. Highlight the "Father Rel:" field. You may have to scroll down to find
this field.
10. Click on "Cite a Master Source" button and enter your source.
When you choose a Report, make sure you have checked the "Child-parent
relationships" box on the "Include" tab and the "Print source citations" on
the "Sources" tab.
I looked at the Individual Report, Family Group Record, and the father's
Descendant Book Report. The child-parent relationship and correct source
were displayed. I haven't looked at other reports.
Hope this helps.

Well, we must both be "muddy" the same way, 'cause this makes perfect
sense to me. Thank you! :-)

After reading your quandry, and some of the responses, there's
definately no right or wrong way.
Personally, if I am "deducing" information from sources without
actually having a source for the event or information in question, I
would put it as an event (now that I use events) that I've made and
named "Deduction", writing out what I deduced and from what and why. I
then source it to any and all documents that back this deduction up,
as well as attach a source that I've named "Self Deduction", citing
myself as the source, and my thoughts as the detail.
Clear as mudd?

Hi, Ron --
Well, obviously I've just made a total mess of this, since no one seems
to
understand what I'm talking about, so I'll try it this way --
What FIELD do I attach the source citation to? I know children are
linked
through birth certificates, etc., but what FIELD do I use for this in
the
*mother* or *father's* individual information screen? Yes, I source the
child's birth date, etc., with the birth certificate in the *child's*
information screen -- but what about the parents' information screens?
I agree that if I have a birth certificate source, anyone reading the
report
can probably assume that the child is linked to the parents through that
source. But what if this is *before* birth certificates? And I'm using
a
combination of other information and sources to determine that Baby Doe
is
the child of John Doe and Jane Doe?
If I have a will, some deeds, some newspaper articles and some census
information that all points to this being the child of these parents,
what
FIELD in the parent's information screen do I use to show that this
source,
or these sources, link these individuals that will also show up on an
ancestor or descendant report -- other than the father or mother
relationships in the Children's settings?
Or is it just the fact that the child shows up in the report as the
child of
this marriage, and then when someone asks me how I determined that, I
then
tell them how I did it? And hope that they ask me before I'm dead
myself?
