I have a lot of information put together by various members of a second cousin's family, but passed to me by the cousin. In each case I have recorded the name of the Compiler as the person who did the research/created the record but for each of them I have the following in the Comments field: "These pages were among a collection of family papers given to me by <name & RIN>." (If the donor did not appear in my Tree himself, I would give his name and his relationship to someone in my Tree.) NB I say "in the Comments field" but in fact, although Comments is where I *would* put it, because it is not - at the moment - possible to prevent Comments from appearing on Reports, which I might not always want, I actually put this information in Source Text. -- 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
