I create a new source for each database at FamilySearch, Ancestry.com, FindMyPast, GenealogyBank, etc. But then I am a "splitter" so that works well for me.

Up to now I have set up a new Master Source for each database but I wonder if it wouldn't have been preferable to have one Master Source for the FS site as I always look up the film number in the Catalogue to get the title to include in the Source Details. Do other LUGgers have one FS Master Source or many? (FWIW, I have a separate Master Source for each Ancestry database and for each FindMyPast database, so I am consistent!) I did look at the New Family Search template but decided that the IGI one was more suitable. Can LDS LUGgers tell me if records on nFS look very different to those on the Beta site or can I continue to use the IGI template when nFS becomes available to non-LDS? It is important to me to know the origin of the record and to have the details necessary to allow me to access the original (or film thereof) where possible and with the IGI template I can put film number, title, item no, etc. -- 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 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
