MJ, The purpose of sourcing is so that if someone else wanted to verify the data that you entered they could go directly to that source and find the same information. With the example that you have shown I would have no clue as to where it came from. I would recommend getting the Book "Evidence Explained Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace" by Elizabeth Shown Mills. She is considered by most genealogist as the expert on citing sources and this book is what the Source Writer Templates are based on. The Templates are numbered according to the page number where they are found in the book.

So this is how I write the note, example Tommaso Giunta 14 Nov 1833 (95) Piazza 95 is the index number or if noted the page number I found the record. I think this maybe why I had problems upgrading to the new Legacy. But this system works for me, when I need to go back and look at a record. Is this a mistake on my part? Should I do it differently? -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
