This may be slightly off topic but I'm sure it concerns many, many Legacy users who will need to update their source citations. What an excellent observation! I imagine this change will be relatively straightforward using the Master Source tools to add some additional details about the change to New Family Search. If anyone thinks that the IGI change in 'location' (i.e., where you can find the original source) will require anything additional to keep my Legacy file up to date, I would really appreciate hearing that. This is a good example of a situation that will make good use of the Legacy tools that are built in. Personally, I am very glad that you asked this question. Kathy
