Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List

Marie, Can you give us more details of your sourcing approach? It sounds like you are a splitter – one document = one source. Is that correct? Donald Quigley Escondido, CA Quigley Doyle Family Tree From: LegacyUserGroup

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

All good ideas here. I wanted to toss one out that has a slightly different use. I use the Spanish upside down question mark at the beginning with a right side up question mark at the end. So for these two sisters, if I knew their maiden name I would add their father with just their maiden

[LegacyUG] We are very sorry. Please forgive us.

Our old mail server just died. We tried to get it fixed/restored. After some attempt at that we ended up moving to a new server and list server. We are using MailMan for our new list server. The SmarterMail server we were using for lists was about 4 years old. A lot has changed with mailing

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

I agree Tom, with the exception of the instance of where the child's surname is known, in that case I simply put it (the surname) in the appropriate place for the father and change it if I ever come upon the correct one. I don't think there /has/ to be a marriage record at all. It works well

[LegacyUG] Master Source List

I fall somewhere between a Splitter and a Grouper. My Master Source List is listed either under a location or a Family Name (I call my branches after my grandparent's names and my husband's grandparents names). For census I have Master Sources by State-County-Town or, if a different country than

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

I am new to legacy but I have for sometime used the technique of entering an unknown female spouse as"LNAME". In other words, I place quotation marks around the known last name of the husband. If I later learn the correct maiden name I just replace it. For males where I do not know a first name I

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List

Having started using Legacy lng before they had a source maker, I created my own templates. All the sources are entered under the name of the person. If I'm using, say the 1860 census as a source, I just pull up the template for the organization that digitized it for online retrieval,

If you want to edit or add to the Master Source just go to the list and find the correct Source. If you want to correct a Detail (details being personal), find your person on the name list, click on his Sources icon, hilight the Source and go directly to Detail. Jane in Phoenix
