First, I've used the Basic System to add some master sources and details. I'm wondering if there is a Source Writer equivalent or any suggestions for how to deal with them: - Certificates covering vital events, but not from states vital records. Such as a certificate of marriage given by a church or a birth given by the hospital - An actual SSN Card or Passport (vs. an application for such)
Second, I'm wondering what usage preferences and suggestions you have for making use of sources. For instance, most sources include an individual's name. Do you attach every source to the name? Do you suppress any of them for reports? I've started to attach sources to every fact it relates to, but now I'm seeing 1/2 page FGS with 2 or more pages of source citations. Is this desirable or no? What criteria do YOU use to determine what to print, what source(s) to attach to what facts, etc. Some 101 guidelines in this regard would be much appreciated. Then, is there a way to manage this when producing a report? What I mean is it would be nice if on one run of a report I could choose to print a subset of sources (somehow marked as top choice or preferred sources when entered), and on another run choose to print them all (maybe sharing all I've got on John Doe). All I see is an exclude option on the individual screen, not in the report options. jc 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
