Browse facts by type

Groups all recorded events and assertions across your tree by category to help you analyze data across different individuals and families. Open this view when you want to examine every instance of a specific fact type, such as a census or military service, in one place.

What you see

The upper toolbar contains the primary controls for choosing categories. Use the Fact type dropdown to select the event category you want to view. When a fact type is selected, the Select all matching checkbox and the Move to dropdown become available for bulk operations.

The main table displays individual records matching your chosen category. The columns show the Owner, Date, Value / description, and Sources for each entry, with a selection checkbox at the start of each row.

The pagination controls at the bottom of the table show your current position and allow you to move between pages when the results exceed fifty rows.
