Richard, that is how I source notes in "Notes". If it is an article from a newspaper, I enter the source for that at the end of the article. I also did not like lumping all the sources together. Who knows what belongs with what. HTH. Good luck. Elsie (Scharpf) Saar

You can source your notes by using the old MLA sourcing technique of putting a reference to the source in brackets at the end of the paragraph or sentence. For example, if the source is "Early Fairchilds in America" by Jean Fairchild Gilmore, at the end of the section, I'd enter [Gilmore] and then source my book in the Notes the usual way. http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/research/mlaparen.html Thanks for using Legacy.

I wish to include in my family file a narrative description of an ancestor who was transported to Australia as a convict. The narrative will be 1000-1500 words, with multiple sources to be cited, and although the best place for it in Legacy would seem to be the Individual Notes, I am finding that Notes doesn’t appear to provide for sources to be cited separately. When multiple sources are cited, Legacy lumps all the footnote/endnote numbers together at the end of the Notes entry, rather than keeping each one beside the specific item of information to which it relates. Similarly, when producing a Descendant Narrative which includes Events with citations, Legacy lumps all the Event footnote/endnote numbers together at the end of the Event Name. Not only that, the Event footnote/endnote numbers duplicate the numbers allocated to the separate Notes citations. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
