If at all possible to enter them, it would be a shame to leave out the sources, Larry. If it were me, I'd rather have a shorter Legacy file with sources, than a long one without; and I would much rather wait a longer time for the results with sources. I guess it depends on whether she just wants the data as a matter of interest, or she wants a useful genealogy to pass on to descendants.
It's really kind of you do do this for her.
