I have done it many times. In the example, starting with 1880, which in the original source has the date of the 1880, which was '1 Jun 1880 1 month', and changed it to 1900, which was ' 1 Jun 1900 1 month'. What I didn't mention, is I used the Basic Source, not the Source Writer, as the wording of the question, referred to the tool as 'make new for this person' or 'change for everyone' choice; and that works the same in both styles. The important answer is that, yes, you must attach a 'new' source to someone, or the not-attached source will disappear.

Would this be a citation attached to a main source? " Rich in LA CA

You could, however, edit your example to CA Los Angeles 1880 census. Since you mention templates though, shouldn't your master source end at the county level? Chicago, then would be the first item of the source citation. -- Richard Van Wasshnova http://www.gencircles.com/users/vanwasshnova http://gw.geneanet.org/vanwasshnova On Fri, Dec 25, 2009 at 9:27 AM, RICHARD SCHULTHIES <[email protected]> wrote: > No. It makes nearly identical Sources.
