Exactly how people organize their Master Source and Source Details varies a lot, but I have separate Master Sources for each type of Certificate from each issuing authority. When citing one of these Certificates I will use the information as a Source for any of the fields Name, Birth, Baptised/Christened, Death, various Note fields and so on. I will then attach the scan of the document to the Source Details. I do not usually find it necessary to create a separate Event, except perhaps in the event of having an Alternate B/C/M/D date or maybe if I wanted to attach a photograph of the Event or the of the Location of the Event. -- 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
