It's not so much a matter of 'entering BMD records' as it is entering the data found therein and then using the BMD's as source documents. And the 'list of many sources' I think you're talking about is not an issue although I agree it's 'bothersome' to scroll through looking for anything since it has no built-in search function. I have a list of about 1100 sources and it's a virtual nightmare. That's NOT where your BMD records go as I explained in previous email. It's Source Detail for particular individuals that are referred to in each BMD record. So, there's no difference in the time it takes to be able to see it compared to putting it under an Event.
I believe the 'standard' way of doing this is to enter birth, christening, death and burial info in the default fields made available to you. Although there are probably some dissenters. And, as I recall from past threads, there, in fact, are and some of them may show up soon and explain themselves. ----- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog On 5/19/2010 8:48 PM, [email protected] wrote: > My point was, > To find a source document,if I create an event for birth,in the event > field,I just click on the event "birth" and it opens the edit event > screen then I click the source icon an it opens the assigned > sources,highlighting the birth entry and birth cert. > If I don't create an event "birth", to find the record,I need to hit the > source icon and scroll/look for the birth record,in a list of many > sources this can be bothersome. > Don't think it really matters in nano-seconds,but I was wondering how > others enter their BMD records,If there's a standard way to do this. > Thank you, > Brian Lehman > > > 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 > <http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp> 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
