sources needed
Is there a way to print off a list of people on your family tree that still need sources?

You can use the Sources version of the Fan Chart to see which profiles lack sources:

another technique is the use the descendants view making sure you have selected the option to display hints (ie. sources, the blue square icon) for individuals listed in the descendants list.

Thank you so much for your prompt response to my question. I am looking for a list that would cover members in my direct tree. I have a lot of generations to cover (some as much as 11th g grandparents). The fan view only shows a max of 7 generations at a time, and it gets complicated trying to maneuver back and forth through the various branches to find which ancestors don't have any sources attached to them. A couple of the programs I have had in the past had that feature, so I was hoping I had missed something.

I wonder why you would consider this to be useful? Are you specifically looking for IDs who have no sources attached? Even if I could see (as per Aine's illustration) that an ID had several sources attached, how would I know how useful they are? If there were, say, six sources attached, (1) they might all relate to the same event, or (2) might have been added in error (actually referring to an individual of very similar identity).
Whether there are zero or numerous sources attached, you always need to directly review the IDs (of your relatives) to make sure they contain sufficient evidence to confirm their true identity.
