Tough one. I don't use source writer but from a quick look it appears you can add a source of your choosing, electoral office database. If that doesn't work, then either Basic Format or Online Database would be as close as you could get. The electoral rolls in England are on microfilm from 1832 to 1900 and hardcopies thereafter. They're usually in the county record office. I add electoral rolls info to the person's research notes. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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).
