Inta, Have you used the Tools>Advanced Sourcing screen, which allows you to apply the same source to multiple individuals or marriages at one time? First create a list of the individuals you wish to apply the source to and tag them with one of your tags. Then go to the Tools>Advanced Sourcing screen. On the "Which Records to Use" you will have a choice to Assign to all individuals with tag: pick you tag number, Assign to all Marriages with tag: pick your tag number, and if this was done from a Search results screen then you will have a third choice of "Assign to all records in the current Search Results List". On the "Where to Assign the Citations" tab you will have several choices of where to place the citations. Something to play with. Hope this helps. Russ

I am sure it has been discussed before but just want to know whether this neat trick is available from the names index also - ie I have a letter from a particular family member which I would like to cite as a source for all her family. I can do this from the individual's screen but cannot seem to do the same from the names index (where it would be much quicker to zip down the list of names). Is it possible or am I wasting my time trying. Thanks in advance to all you clever people.
