This is excellent advice! I keep screen shots of several Source Citations because I found it difficult to remember exactly what format or order I had used for text in field. For example, in Credit Line for a Scottish Census citation I enter something like "parish 6464/3, ED 21, page 31" but I need to remember that what I enter is those 3 pieces of information; where I use capitals, where lower case; where I use an abbreviation. Another example is where the SW template doesn't exactly meet requirements, such as differences in the references for a GRO Death Index in fairly recent years. I keep a screen shot of an Override I have used so I can be consistent with this type of Citation. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
