Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the I think and maybe individuals?
Paula, I certainly didn’t think that your comments were '”offensive” in any way. Rather my comments were prompted by the fact that many people do not regard publishing on the web as ‘publishing’. That is to say that they consider anything on a website as to be freely available to them, for them to copy and use as they wish, without regard to copyright – see Sybil’s post earlier today. I do not suggest for one minute that you come into this category, I simply wanted to emphasise the web publishing has the same status, particularly legal status, as anything published on paper, (and it is just as hard, if not harder to write).

I haven't looked into the User ID. Just thought it would be a number for a file numbering system. Putting text into it might be useful. Still I'll have to take time to work out a plan.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the I think and maybe individuals?
Peggy, As somebody else wrote, it is important to consider at this early stage as to whether you may wish to publish your work as a report just for your family, send copies to other researchers, publish formally or as a web site. If so how would they look if full of possibles or maybes. OK, you could put them in Privacy Brackets, but this would stop you using them for other purposes.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the I think and maybe individuals?
I like that I can find my maybes and my I think. Anyone checking my tree knows immediately that I don't have a world of confidence in that G but it also brings me corrections and tidbits of advice from people I suspect wouldn't write otherwise. I have ended up having what approaches a town genealogy in my family tree. I am working heavily from the Bishops Transcripts - which lead to a lot of 'Maybe' at the best of times. From 1770 on I have a good chance of finding the family in the census and other records which lets me remove some of the maybes. My other big reason for them is when I find a marriage online at familysearch it doesn't always indicate if the woman was married before, so a maybe.

[LegacyUG] What to do with the I think and maybe individuals?

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the I think and maybe individuals?
Peggy: The source icon is Grey if there are no souces for an individual in the family view. You could add a new Master source called UNSOURCED and attach that to each person you have unsourced and then you can see a list of people who have that source named UNSOURCED. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com - On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 5:31 PM, Marg Strong tiny...@yahoo.com wrote: When I read this (posted as a comment in another topic) I wondered again if there was a way to put individuals into your tree and identify them as unsourced.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the I think and maybe individuals?
But there are no source icons for the children unless you go into their page, are there? I do like the idea of adding the UNSOURCED master source so at least when I'm ready to work on those, I can pull them up. Thanks!
