It was an older version of Legacy. Actually, I put the notes in my Events/Facts! So if someone were to look for Tommaso Giunta birth year 1873 (95) that means the birth record of 1873, is number 95. Does that make sense? I have a feeling I am going to be redoing my sources also.
I live in NY, I am 2nd generation Sicilian and 3rd generation Italian. I also have the smallest Italian/Sicilian family in the world :) So it is easy to write in the note, got this marriage record at this Church name in Brooklyn, or got this note from the FHC microfilm number 154678 etc. On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 1:16 PM, Ron Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > Difficult to say from the information given below without more information. > >>> I've made notes as to where I got my records.
