Hello all,
I have seen templates mentioned quite a lot in these discussions. Can you make
template screens in legacy or are you referring to a paper reference sheet
that you create to ensure a 'standard' way in which you enter sources.
If there is a way to create templates in Legacy could

Hi Paul,
People are mainly talking about paper reference sheets they have
created to help standardise their source entry.
However, we've been told that Source Templates are coming in Legacy

You are on the right track, Tim. The full citation, for a splitter, is often

You might check the Archives, Paul there was some profitable discussion
about this recently. I learned a lot, and have adopted the template method
for certain repetitive sources (census, BLM, etc). It helps with

Hi Mary,
I would enter it as a Marriage Event - I enter Family events as
marriage events.
Why can't you include events for marriage in an INDIVIDUAL report?
The report is about the INDIVIDUAL. ;-)
However, you can include the Marriage events if you include the Chronology.
The alternatives
I like to see it all on the same screen, not partitioned off. So I don't
enter events anywhere except in the individual screen. To me, something that
happens in the life of the couple should show up on the primary screen that
I access. I don't want to overlook it in any circumstance of evaluation.
I'm sure that we all have a sense of humor. But this has been an awful
waste of everyone's time when it goes beyond the original topic and ends
up very off-topic for way too long.
We need to get back to Legacy...

Hi Pat,
Basically it sounds as if you are only using the
Source Details sections of a source just for
comments rather than for the true Source Detail.
Taking your example:
I'd make The Snider Family GenForum a Master

questions I have. What size is your data file? Number

Do not put the details of the event in the Master Source. Keep the Master
