Re: [LegacyUG] citing World War I draft registration cards

[mbstx]

Am I missing something?  When I type in "598" I get the choice of three templates, but none of them actually assist in the wording  below, or even truly match the fields to what EE says to use.  You still have to enter the citation information details on your own, which means you have to be very careful to match the wording you've used previously.  I find myself pulling out EE every time I have to source a WWI draft registration.  Marianne -----Original Message----- From: Tim Rosenlof Sent: Mar 20, 2012 4:52 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] citing World War I draft registration cards Using SourceWriter when adding a new source, in the 'What kind of source do you want to site? :', type 598 for the templates on page 598 Hope this is what you are after.
