Walt- what a great idea. I'm so glad I get the 90 odd emails a day from the group! I always find great ideas. (PS did I snip correctly?) Marli

Personally, I attach the image of the cover or front sheet of each directory to the Master Source entry for that directory and an image of the appropriate page to the detail for the event. My personal opinion is that hard drive space is relatively cheap, so, whenever I can, I attach an image of the document/photo/etc. to the source. I also transcribe the actual entry to the text/comments section of the source detail. My only regret (maybe) thus far is that I have created a residence event and (if applicable) an occupation event for each person mentioned in a directory. It may have been easier to just create a directory event and enter the appropriate information there. However, I am still evaluating that decision.
