Elizabeth,
There is no right or wrong way to name your Master Sources in
Legacy. It is an extremely flexible system, where you can develop
something to suit yourself.
If you don't want to sort by type - or name or location - then don't do
it! Do what feels/seems right to you. It will be

How do you file?
Ex. alphabetic by sender (chronologically within)
Do you save and file the envelopes from letters?
Do you use binders or folders or ?
All my Source material in the form of documents, certificates,

Hi Elizabeth,
As Kristen stated there is no magic way to organize your list. That being
said one thing that many people overlook is that the Source List Name and
the Title of the source can be two different things. The 2nd is the
actual title of your source - and thus would be used in the

Like Jenny, I group most records by source type. For books, however, I
