Pages 153-155 from Evidence Explained, by Elizabeth Shown Mills, addresses this. You can open the Source Writer in Legacy and when you go to add a new master source- type one of the above page numbers in the box, "What kind of source do you want to cite?" and it will bring up the correct template. Basically, what matters is what format the personal knowledge came to you in; an email, correspondence. Section 3.43 on page 155 more fully describes what you are asking. So if you type in either 3.43 or 155 you will get what you want.

For example. I no longer have my children's birth certificates in my possession but I know for sure the particulars of their births. Same for my grandchildren. I was there even though I don't have the paper trail to prove it. Naomi Lee SMITH BLACK Marietta, GA.
