As always, Jenny, you are illuminating. I had forgotten that the SW templates are VERY specific, so hard to group birth and death into one. Will have to do more research. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

I have no problem finding appropriate SourceWriter templates for English Parish Registers/Records. Incidentally, I distinguish between Registers (actual images of the originals) and Records (transcriptions of the Registers) in my Master Sources. If you are going to set up separate Master Sources for every surname, for every church, for every event you are going to end up with an awful lot of Master Sources. That's what we call being a Splitter. On the other hand, if you create one Master Source for many Churches or many Events or many Surnames you are more of a lumper. I tend to have different Master Sources for each set of records according to where I access them. So I have one Master Source for all Baptism Registers for Liverpool(*), as found on Ancestry or, also on Ancestry, one Master Source for all Marriage Records in West Yorkshire and so on. (*) Actually there is one for CofE and one for RC because they are separate databases on Ancestry. This is an example of a citation for a Liverpool Baptism: Liverpool, Lancashire, England, Baptisms, 1813-1906, "St Philemon, Toxteth Park, Lancashire Register of Baptisms," entry for Robert William McGee, 1877; digital images, Ancestry.co.uk (www.ancestry.co.uk : accessed 24 April 2012). The name of the Master Source is Baptism Registers - Liverpool. I also have a Master Source of "Baptism Registers - St Chad's, Over" where I have been able to access the Registers of a particular Church at the Record Office, rather than via an online collection. I hope this goes some way towards clearing the confusion for you. I have little doubt there will be others along with more advice. -- 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).
