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

[mbstx]

My understanding is that there are a limited number of citations that can be saved to the source clipboard. Therefore (a) the saved citation would eventually go away, and (b) I then have to find an ancestor with the "perfect" citation to copy.  If I'm wrong, I'd love to hear it.  M -----Original Message----- From: Paula Ryburn Sent: Mar 21, 2012 11:38 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] citing World War I draft registration cards At least for now, could you Save the "perfected" citation as a source clipboard?  Then when you have another WWI draft registration to cite, you could Load that one and replace the name and various numbers in the same place in that "Item of Interest" field?  As well as if you used the Text or Comment fields to help perfect the citation... or even the over-rides... aren't those saved in the Source Clipboard, too?  OR if you use this method, maybe make a citation that has a more generic "[NAME], [CARD NO.], [DATE SIGNED]..." in the "Item of Interest" field, and Save THAT one.  Ditto on the Text or Comment or Over-ride boxes.  Then Load it as you need to make a new citation.   --Paula  From: Michele Lewis <ancestor...@gmail.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Wed, March 21, 2012 11:23:46 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] citing World War I draft registration cards YES, Marianne!  That is my  point.  I wish the template had all the mandatory stuff in the source part of the citation so that the detail would be easy. Michele 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 Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ 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).
