Gramps 5.1.6 Mac OS Sonoma Version 14.1.2 I have just started with a new database with only 1 person in it with 6 sources 4 of which are censuses. When I use the forms gramplet, following the video I have edited the source per video and the list does not produce the source as expected in the source…

You are the person that uses the Mac Book right?

I will create a Census event for a person and then add the Citation using the source, add the census image to the citation’s galley and from that add the page information of the citation.
