Jerry, right now it's a matter of organization. I've been using Legacy for many years, coming over to it from Reunion when they quit supporting Windows. In the interim 10 years, I've dabbled in my research. Now I'm getting serious about cleaning it all up and doing things properly: sorting out my sources, analyzing evidence, etc.
So as a starting point, I've taken all my 150 or so existing master sources and am doing a great & mighty house-cleaning. Most of them were created before SourceWriter came along. Same thing with my paper files -- house-cleaning. Next, I've attached all the pertinent sources to the individuals to which they apply, utilizing the Uspecified Event as a holding pen. I'm nearly ready to start with my maternal grandparents' family and begin weighing all my evidence. That will be the basis of attaching source citations to each event appropriately.
