Looks like I am back in the loop – my apologies to all those who received my test messages.
I use multiple sources for 3 basic reasons 1) To store a derived source – say birth from age at death 2) To store a source from another person (which needs to be verified) 3) To store what I deem to be a valid source – Church, Government, Burial, Kin etc. The first sources can be deleted, if required, but I find them useful in tracking corroborating facts. Also, in providing nFS as a source for a record back into Legacy only gives me (2) above – I would need to find Source (3) in order to prove the entry. So I would want the process to be 2 way i.e. If a person enters a (3) source into nFS then I would want to extract that source back to my Legacy dB.

I would say that I have 'grown into' many Legacy features and I wouldn't have used that feature in the beginning but I can certainly see the usefulness of it now. I suppose if it were so complicated as to take more time than to use the source clipboard three separate times, it probably has limited use. Really, how many times do we cite three sources on multiple people? I mostly source one thing at a time as I go thru. That said, there are many things I have learned to love about the functions Legacy provides once I get thru the learning curve; and like my cell phone, I can't imagine life without it now :-) So maybe if I had that function, I would learn to love that too. Maybe this should be submitted as a suggestion for future improvement?

All of us who liked it didn't comment, and they listened to the folks who couldn't hack it. A real loss for the program.

Not a bad deal considering the work it would take to otherwise find the source and assign it without using the clipboard. bgj 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com <http://news.legacyfamilytree.com/> ).
