You're a tough cookie, Jenny Benson, and I agree completely. I transcribe the essential parts of the record into Source Details so the data is there for the reading. If the URL changes in the future then someone else will just have to hunt it up. At least I provided a head start.

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).
