Be aware that you only get that message if that source is already being used otherwise it will overwrite that source if no citation is being used. Make sure you choose one that is being used already.

Bring up the source you want to use but alter. Click Edit over on the right side. Make the changes you need. Now click Save. Make sure that you select 2. APPLY THE CHANGES TO A NEW COPY OF THIS MASTER SOURCE. You don't want to accidentally pick the first option or you will overwrite the one you already have and then you will have a mess. Make sure that you don't forget to change the NAME of the source too.

I have to create numerous new sources which are similar (Single county parish registers where only the name of the parish is different but the origin of the source is different). Is it possible to copy a master source? Then I could just change the name and origin. Graham -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
