Sherry and others who be just starting out, Please keep in mind that Genealogy is only a hobby and as such; is supposed to be fun ! Some folks take it far to seriously and attempt to turn it into an exact science or their life's work. Do not think that there is only one way to accomplish this or a single way to use Legacy. You are the only one who can decide what is an acceptable level of proof, what/who to include in your database and how much documentation you personally require.
My personal philosophy is that the closer the relationship to me the more documentation I attempt to collect. This is totally unacceptable to some folks and is fine with me. They certainly are free to NOT use the information I have taken the time to collect. Nor, do I post my sources on line. If someone wants my sources; then they can contact me. I am always willing to share. That is a common trait among people involved in the hobby. This is certainly reflected by the activity on this list. Keep it Fun !! Have a great weekend !

He cannot run his own affairs correctly, but he is constantly interfering in the affairs of others, and he is always ready to repent of everyone’s sin but his own."— M. D.
