Judy, I prefer being thorough (and simpler for ease of finding and avoiding duplication) with my documentation of findings, but creating an individual source for each individual as each new record is found is proving to be cumbersome when printed. The printed pages of sources seem to be much longer than the names referenced in my file.

Yes. I have many newspapers in my master source list, but the sources and references print cleanly and I can easily search each title to see whose obituaries came from an individual newspaper. I can also tag "newspaper" as the source type and see all of the obituaries I've researched. Can you offer a suggestion to this avowed splitter why you would want to reduce the number of Master Sources? To me, they show diligent research. Judy Hi all, I am trying to "clean" up and possibly reduce the number of master sources. Currently, when I am lucky enough to find an obituary (say from Genealogybank.com) I am saving it as a "Newspapers" source by itself called Obituary: Name of Deceased, Year of Death. This method, although easy to find by individual's name is creating way too many sources to scroll through. Not all obituaries are from the same state, same newspaper, etc. so I don't know the best way to group them as one master source, and then allowing me to use the detail screen to personalize it for each individual. Can anyone give me suggestions as to how you might be handling this? I appreciate the help. Thanks!
