As any genealogist will say, documents\u00a0are vital to doing good genealogy research. It’s important to remember to upload your documents<\/a> to your family’s profiles on Geni and add sources<\/a> to ensure\u00a0the family tree is as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n

What happens when you have a document with multiple people in it? Records such as the\u00a0census or passengers lists may hold the names of entire families. Instead of uploading the document to every profile, you can simply\u00a0tag all the relevant profiles to a\u00a0single document.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps below to learn how to tag multiple profiles to a document.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0First, upload the document to your family tree on Geni and click to edit it.<\/p>\n

\"Geni<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>\u00a0To make sure the document is associated with the profiles for each individual\u00a0found in the record, tag the profiles\u00a0by entering their names in the ‘People’ field. Once you are done, save your changes.<\/p>\n

\"Geni<\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0Now all tagged profiles will appear on the document page. Additionally, a link to the document\u00a0will also be found\u00a0in the Media tab for each tagged profile.<\/p>\n

\"Geni<\/a><\/p>\n

By tagging all relevant profiles, there’s no need to re-add the same document again!<\/p>\n

Bonus:<\/strong> You may\u00a0also identify where in the document each profile can be found, which will allow\u00a0you or your relatives to\u00a0easily locate\u00a0a person in the record.\u00a0Simply click ‘Identify’ on the document page to begin. (Note: You may have to zoom in to get a better view of the record).<\/p>\n

Like the photo identifier, simply locate and click on the name of the person in the record. You can change the parameters of the highlighted green square by dragging the sides\u00a0with your mouse to stretch or shrink the box.<\/p>\n

\"Geni<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the individuals are identified, you\u00a0can mouseover on the name to see who it is.<\/p>\n
