Re: [LegacyUG] No Death notes sources

[mbstx]

I agree with Paula.  I want the sources I attach to Death Notes to apply there, not elsewhere.  Why should I have to create an Alt. Death Event for a piece of information that already has a defined place in the fields?  Does this also happen when I attach a source to notes in the Medical tab (eg relating to Cause of Death) in the General/Research/Medical option for notes?  I haven't had time to check that out, plus I'm not a power user of Legacy, so it's sometimes hard for me to figure out these detailed discrepancies.  Marianne -----Original Message----- From: Paula Ryburn Sent: Sep 10, 2012 11:29 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] No Death notes sources Setting aside the particular information Pat is entering in Death Notes (because I use Alt. Death events, too)... It bothers me, too, that the citation number for Death Notes does not print by the Death Notes in the FGR.  You have to know to go back to the first page and look at the Death date and place citations.  Further, within the citation itself (?) you have to indicate which piece of evidence about the death came from that source...?  Is that how others do it? This is akin to multiple sources for bits entered in General Notes or Research Notes, but with the added complexity of the Death information not all being printed together on the FGR.   --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 From: Pat Hickin <pph...@gmail.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Fri, September 7, 2012 7:46:29 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] No Death notes sources Although there is a Death Notes box available and one can enter sources for the information you put there, when you click on the book icon (to get to the "Assigned Sources" window, there is no "Death Notes" entry.   The source you entered for "Death Notes" instead shows up under the "Death" sources.   When you print an individual or other report, the "Death Notes" entry has no accompanying source citation. So let's say I enter a death date as 1801 (as the most reliable) and give Source A.   Then in the "Death notes" I say that other, less reliable, sources give a date of 1803 or 1805, and cite Sources B and C.    But when I print the report, it looks as though Sources A,B,and C agree on the 1801 date,  and the less reliable sources I've mentioned go unidentified! What is the reason for not having separate sources for "Death Notes"? <snip> Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ 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).
