When you attach a given source to name, birth info, death info, burial info, ... it is not copied to each of those entries, but only linked as you requested. Thus only a extra pointer to the source is stored, not all the source info. This is one of the advantages of having a full relational

Hi Dennis Dave, Thank you for helping me learn to do the search for modified date. I was not entering the date correctly. I appreciate the many many times both of you have helped the users group. Ann New Mexico, USA The date should be entered the way you have set in Legacy for your dates.

Keeping in line with my current philosophy of having lots of different source details under one master source (as in the example of having multiple tombstone linked to a single cemetery), I set up Personal Correspendence as the Master Source. This is both the Source List Name and the Title. I
