Please update or expand this section.


UPDATE: Please look at user mailing list => Another citation question: FamilySearch [1].


Many FamilySearch records give nice citations, that are easy to copy and paste into Gramps like a set of marriage records that FamilySearch has scanned, compiled, and put online.

This is an example of a Gramps citation for an FamilySearch record without a citation given to us. The important thing is to use sensible values in the Gramps citation Volume/Page text-box that ensure we uniquely identify the record.

Event

This is the main Gramps event for this citation.

It isn't necessary to set this data attribute.

But Gramps doesn't yet have a repository-specific attribute for this in the citation (only at the source level), so this is one way you could save the FamilySearchURL.
