I went to the BCG site through the link you provided. Under their paragraph “Direct or Indirect Evidence” they don’t discuss negative evidence. Should the definition you are using be something like “Refutes the statement” rather than “the source is missing information”?

Hi Bob,

RM4 is following the guidelines of the Board of Certified Genealogists for citation qualities.

This web page has helped me understand how they work.

The categories under “Evidence” for citation quality (especially “negative”) seem to not fit well. Instead of Direct, Indirect & Negative, I think Conclusive, Substantive, and Supportive would show better they quality of the particular type of evidence for the citation. Just a thought. Thanks.

One the screen image you showed, there is a misspelling..
“Primary: This information was provided by somone with firsthand knowledge…”

“somone”??

Hi Bruce. As the citation quality screen is so different from the existing screen, what happens to the current entries (primary, secondary, etc) when I upgrade? I very much like RM and am looking forward to the upgrade.

Thanks, Bruce! I’m really pleased to see all these exciting new features coming in the new version of RootsMagic, which is already the best genealogy software on the market. I’m sure glad I changed to your software years ago.

Yes, it can’t be far away now, I am down to checking every couple of hours in expectation of the first major feature peek and it’s just not working )~:

This is fantastic. I am currently working on my certification portfolio and these additions are just what I need!!!

Hopefully, RM4 will be unveiled and available for purchase at FGS in a few weeks……
