adding as a source to a death

adding as a source to a death

I recently found an orbit for a member of my family tree while searching historical newspapers. I wanted to save it so I clicked "attach to" to add it as source for that person's death. When I finished the process and went to the profile overview section, the newspaper was not linked to the death, but it was listed in the historical records section of profile. How do I link the newspaper orbit to the death of a person?

There are many, many such things that are not individually coded to link to a specific type of event.

You'll have to add it manually as a source. Have its URL handy to add in the citation.

First one I thought was a typo but second one makes me think you're not aware you're typing it that way, so just to bring it to your attention so you don't keep making the same mistake, it's an obit not an orbit. :)

Your right. That "r" just keeps getting in there. I'm sure I have done it every time I used it. You are the first to call it to my attention. Thanks.
