Yes, but you paste in the actual Source Detail lots of times, don't you? As a lumper, you only have one Master Source, which you refer to many times. But as soon as you start adding Source Detail you don't refer to the one Detail several times, you make several copies of it. You don't make several copies of the Census image, you have one copy which is referenced several times. I think Paul is suggesting you have one copy of a Census Detail which you reference several times. Not sure how it would work in practice, though, because of the way a Citation is made up of a Master Source and a Detail and the varying amounts of lumping/splitting that are practised. I rather suspect Legacy handles Citations the way it does because that's the best way to do it! -- 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).
