RE: [LegacyUG] Starting Master Source List
Howland: Wouldn't the Family Group Sheet Privately Held work for you? Kirsten -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of howlanddavi...@aol.com Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 8:08 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Starting Master Source List Listers: I am having trouble getting started with my sources. I am not a beginner using Legacy but I am one as far as sources go. I had a file of many names in a genealogical file. Unfortunately, I had not saved that file of my genealogy information on a flash drive when disaster struck, partly due to the computer and partly due to my stupidity. In that old file, I had not had any sources shown so here I am about to begin again and I want to add sources as I go. My problem is that my first source is a not a usual one (i.e., book, census, web site, etc.). It is a family descendancy chart prepared by an _ancestor_. Could I have some suggestions as to how to start. I have the Legacy 7.0 book and it shows to use key words and then to click on a Search icon but I don't see one. What am I missing?

Re: [LegacyUG] Starting Master Source List
Kirsten: ??? Thank you for your response. ??? That would work perfectly I would think.? But as a beginner on sourcing, how to I get there?? Do I type in Family Group Sheet Privately Held? to start or does some sort of template drop down; one that I have been unable to find so far?

Re: [LegacyUG] Starting Master Source List
Howland, Double click the Sources icon (pic of books), either from the tool bar at the top of the Legacy screen, or from the Family View tool bar directly below individual data for the person you want to source. A list of your Master Sources will open. If you have not recorded any sources, it will be blank. On the upper right is a column of buttons. The 3rd one down is labeled Add. Click on it. A screen will open asking if you want to use SourceWriter. Click Yes and a menu of available template types will open. If you don't see one on the list that seems appropriate, enter a keyword in the field at the very top (e.g., Obituary) and click on the Search button. A list of templates which might fill you needs will open. Choose one and following the prompts. If this isn't clear, please ask again. John S.
