As I have been researching for about 10 years now I already have Citations for which the Sources no longer exist (websites removed, for example.) My Citations state where I found the information: if it is no longer there for someone else to find - tough! It takes time enough to keep up with the research as it is, without spending countless hours looking up information I already have and creating more new Sources.. I have Citations which refer to the IGI, some which refer to beta-FamilySearch and some for the current FamilySearch site. Doubtless in future I will have newFamilySearch as a Source but it will be new information, not a re-has of what I have already found in earlier incarnations of the site. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
