I've been picking a person from the top, then locating them by their ID number because it's easier to update doing a family. I'm usually out of the Source list until I'm ready to move to the next family.
I've noticed that some edits can't be done if I'm in the Master Source, Show List, Edit Individual, probably because I'm embedded too deep in windows. It's easier to just select someone from that family for the census then see who has that source attached to them that is in this same family. -----Original Message----- From: Laird [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 6:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Sources, Show List (was: What's Changed?) Bill, for what it's worth: If you leave out the second step "And" in my suggestion it will list all the people that use that source, AND the scroll point goes to the person that you have selected in Family View; if this person uses the Source. This "might" sort of bookmark the last person you edited if you don't do any other operations and leave Family View on that person.
