I'm with Rich on this one, except that I don't use the comma placeholders. I record whatever a Source says for each event unless it is as vague as "of Anytown." In my experience so far, this "of Anytown" tends to be in IGI Patron Submissions or "pedigrees" given me by other people. If I can't establish exactly what "of" means - where they were born? where they lived as an adult? - I don't record it as a "fact" but will make a note of it and use it as the basis for further research. -- 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
