Have read the first release, and tried my hand at a couple of the exercises. The page number reference of your first example didn’t seem to point to the correct reference – but them maybe it is just me.

More examples would be helpful. The approach is different from that which you recommended for census records a few months ago.

I have not converted over to Reunion, and my db of record is still in Legacy Family Tree 7.5, running in a virtual environment. One of the big issues to resolve is to how to migrate sources for 5000+ individuals. Most details were lost in initial attempt a few weeks ago, although Reunion 10 seems to be a better match than Reunion 9 which I tried and gave up on. Event recording in Legacy including media, descriptions, sourcing seems more robust than Reunion. For example, in Legacy, I have one master source say for the 1900 US Census, and then separate citation details for each locality and individual. Unfortunately in Reunion, the media is not supported and the details got merged, and exceeded the field size. So what is in Reunion as Census citations is useless – requiring 100% rework.

Also important to me is that I export Gedcoms to upload to my website running TNG. So it is not just getting the information into Reunion. So it is also important to test how a Reunion Gedcom Export will work with TNG.

But I plan to try my hand at Practical Citations over the next few days.
