I don't understand the "recorded date" on the "Source info" window.
I am working with the 1880 census for VA, B County, which I have used on at
least 1 previous occasion. Now I am using info from the same census on a
different person. So under "recorded date" I had entered the date I first
used the source. Now I am recording different info and so I want to change
the "recorded date."
But when I change the date, I am asked if I want to change the "recorded
date" for all references to the master source, or do I want a new copy of
the master source.
Well, the answer is neither--I just want to change the "recorded date" for
the info I'm recording now, today. I do NOT want it to change the "recorded
date" for all references to the master source, NOR do I want a new copy of
the master source in my list of sources.
Obviously, I don't understand the term. So, I click on "help," enter
"recorded date" in the
word(s) to search for the meaning of the term and am given a list of
NINETY-THREE TOPICS!!
Can somebody tell me what this "recorded date" is supposed to be FOR?? (Of
course, when I get to the Detail window there's another place where it says
"recorded date" and has a "Today's Date" button to click on. This is NOT the
window I'm talking about now, but since the same term of "recorded date"
appears in both windows, I would conclude they're both referring to the same
information. It doesn't quite make sense to me.)
And I doubt that I'm quite making sense too! But thanks for any help!
