I have written a new program that analyzes the sources/data in my Legacy DB. It will check to see if data is missing, sources are missing or if some of the items in a source are missing. The program gives a report of the data/sources that are missing and allows you to print it or load it into a spreadsheet via a CSV file.
In my research, one of the branches of my family is from Finland. There is an excellent web site that has images of many of the church records from the late 1600s/early 1700s to the late 1800s online. When I find a page containing an ancestor (or ancestor relative), I download the image to my computer. In the detail source record I place a transciption of the relatives record into the 'Enter the actual Source Text (optional)' on the 'Test/Comment' tab. The image is attached to the 'Multimedia' tab. The web address that points at the actual page is cut and pasted into the 'Enter any comments about this Citation (optional)' on the 'Test/Comment' tab. On the master source for this detail source, I have a web address to the home page of the website which lead to all of the parishes in Finland. There can be many books for each Parish so having the direct address to the actual image in the Source detail helps. The Legacy Source program checks to make sure I haven't goofed by forgetting to attach an image or fill in a field. If you are interested in the program, you can download it from the following website: http://sites.google.com/site/promanowiczsite/legacy-sources Any comments, problems or suggestions, please send them to me directly.
