I used 11.39 Military: Navy & Other Branches for my uncle's log. He was a merchant seaman from 1940-1958. I disagree with those who suggest a separate event for each voyage. Rather, I entered one employment event as a merchant seaman and entered each voyage, rating, and dates in the notes. 59 separate events would have been a bit much.

It shows the details of the ships he sailed on, their dates and places of departure and discharge, where they went, and what he sailed as. Now how do I enter and source this? If you are wanting to use SourceWriter I would choose Military ecords>All countries except US>Basic format.. Don't be put off by "Military" - that word won't appear in the citation. You can add as much or as little to the Source Detail as you wish/feel ecessary. -- enny M Benson egacy User Group guidelines: ttp://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp rchived messages after Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ rchived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ nline technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp ollow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our log (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com). o unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp 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).
