I won't use Source Writer as on export to GEDCOM it scrambles the source and ends up on my website in garbled form.
However, I would be interested to see the templates for Scotland sources, but couldn't find them. Would you be able to tell me the steps to take when setting up a source in Source Writer so I can find them?

That is how I have Ancestry, FHL, etc. I find that the Source writer is easier to get the source in the format you want plus they have templates for Scotland sources.

Any ideas welcome. > Personally, I wouldn't want to have one Master Source for Scotlands People any more than I have one for Ancestry or one for FindMyPast or one for FamilySearch. I do use SourceWriter and I think my Source Citation for (for example) a Death is very similar to those in the blog you mention: Scotland Statutory Registers, Peebles, Peeblesshire, 768/00: page 16, no 47, 1916, George Adam Duncan Camperdown Fergusson; digital image, "Deaths 1855-2006," ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk: 24 April 2005). Your own example seems to include all the same information and does the job very adequately, I would have thought. -- 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).
