I would like to save all of them. Not just 10. And save permanently, too. A death certificate such as what Geoff showed on Friday can be the source of many different events for several people. Let's say later on Geoff figured out the state registration number by using Photoshop to view the negative of his tif file. Now he wants to make a global change to that citation to add that previously illegible bit of data. If it were saved as a model he could.

All the source fields can be changed through that feature. The Source Clipboard can be saved. Click on the "Save a Clipboard" button at the bottom of the Source Clipboard Window. You can save up to 10 clipboards. Full instructions are in the Help file for Source Clipboard.

Would you ever create a completely separate source for a census entry, death record, etc. that you know is going to be a source for multiple people and fields? Sometimes I find that I have not transcribed something properly (handwriting, poor scan, whatever) and then I have to go back to each person and field that I used that source for and make the corrections one at a time. Or is there a faster way to do that? I'm thinking maybe I should create a brand new source for each entry but then I'd end up with thousands of sources.... This is probably one of the unresolvable issues of Legacy. Academic honesty would require that you cite to everything. However, very few of us want to turn a hobby into a job. I wish that Legacy would have developed a method to save the source clipboard entries permanently as model citations. Then if changes are needed you could change the model and have every citation updated. Anyhow, I just submitted a suggestion to Legacy. Happy Mother's Day all. Now it's time to make pancakes.
