The Mills book is basically how to reference genealogical sources
correctly. The version I looked at was outdated (1996?) and I don't
recall it showing how to reference some forms of electronic media.
"Genealogists" take this as the authority on how to source from what I
gather.
I try to abide by MLA formatting with my sources since my wife is an
English professor (She can spell-I can't) :)
APA is another popular sourcing format for the pseudo sciences such as
psychology and sociology (My majors in college).
Google is your friend on these formats.
From what I gathered from Renee's review is that we will have source
templates. That is what I am thrilled about. Now that I think about it I
hope we are allowed to build our own templates in whatever format we
chose and not have to be "married" only to Mill's templates. I can only
hope. Sourcing has been somewhat weak in this program and I miss using
the now defunct Ultimate Family Tree that would allow me to format my
source templates how I wanted. That program was actually one of the
first programs to have Mill's templates built in to it. There were a lot
of features in that program I would like to see implemented into Legacy.
That program kicked arse and was years ahead of its time in ease of use
and functionality. TMG tried to do this, but it became too complex for
most users and IMHO is counter-intuitive. Oh and thanks to FTM for
killing that program.
Don't get me wrong Legacy filled it's shoes for my use and I like the
mom and pops approach business model they have. More of a family all of
us are because of it and these folks are very respectful even with what
comes through this list :)
Basically, it sounds like Legacy is growing up and I am glad to see the
push on better sourcing options within the program as long as it
maintains it's intuitiveness and data integrity.
I pray the Legacy programming gurus give us the option to build our own
templates. I'll be glad to lend you my UFT with it's Windows 3.1 16 bit
GUI functionality overlaid on foxpro 16bit to take a gander at :)

Hello All,
I too am very thrilled to hear that the folks at Millennia worked with
Elizabeth Shown Mills.
Legacy continues to show its commitment to improving the core, not
adding to the fluff.
Thank You

Question: (off topic)
Could someone explain, or point me to a web site so that I can learn
about the "hyphen hyphen space for signatures" item mentioned.
Two what is the rule? my reply on top or my reply on the bottom?
Thank You
