Dear Connie, Thank you for your reply. On an individual's record (eg Jean Skeet) I have just clicked on 'Cite a Master Source' (from the 'books' icon bottom right of a record), chosen the source I wanted (eg 'Birth certificates'), then added the source detail (individual birth cert - here for Jean Skeet). This seems to have the desired effect of linking that information with the individual (All the details from Jean Skeet's birth certificate linked to Jean Skeet). I'm not sure how you copy anything to the 'Source Clipboard', nor how you go onto attach the source to an individual. (I seem to be doing all this the other way round?)
If the Legacy source citation is too messy, I'll tidy up my info & put it all under the 'Research' tab. I was trying to get my sources more organised & consistent!
