I wish I could see this function in person. I am so totally lost as to how that would work and why it would save so much time. I also use multiple sources for every event; if you have watched either of Geoff's webinars on entering vital records, you know that he goes to the extreme in sourcing every single item many, many times. If anyone would understand the value of that feature, Geoff would. I'm obviously missing something here. In my effort to 'dumb this down' to understand, is this how it works?
You enter information for a source, save it to the clipboard and 'clipboard #1' Enter info for source #2, save it as 'clipboard #2' Enter info for source #3, save it as 'clipboard #3' Then you have an option to choose all three clipboards that verify information on a multiple of events and/or persons and you can click a button by each event for each person and it adds all 3 sources at once. Is that how it works? I guess if I had a bunch of documents verifying the same things, that would be useful. I'm not sure that most of my sources are like that. Maybe census pages? Where they have all the same people on them for different years? I could see that being very useful for going back and adding in all the census events that I never added over the years. Am I getting anywhere close to what the function actually does? thanks, Kathy On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 11:37 AM, Bob Vary <[email protected]> wrote: > I also mostly research my medieval ancestry.
