No, NFS is not set up to automatically incorporate sources from any family history program or gedcom. You have no choice but to record sources in NFS manually at this time. Lots of techy reasons and practical reasons for this but that's the bottom line. Personally, I do record the sources in NFS 'sometimes'; mainly if I'm changing something that has been recorded incorrectly or if I'm adding something new. But I make a very brief entry just so someone looking will know that I do have sourcing information so they can trust the information and they know if they contact me, they can get more details. A lot of people don't give NFS (or other databases) a lot of trust unless they see sources mentioned.
It would be nice if it transferred but that's a long way off and it's not Legacy that needs to 'fix' it; it's on the NFS end. for now we should all just be super grateful for all that NFS and the records search site provide to all of us for FREE. I think their resources are better spent transcribing and providing records than tweaking NFS capabilities for the moment. I'm sure there will be a huge push to transcribe the 1940 census in a couple months :-) Kathy On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 3:03 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I just added a family group to the new Family Search that was not there > (this is a Polish family) through the Legacy interface.
