Syble:
You have gotten other responses to your inquiry to which I agree. In
addition, I wanted to show one way (that I use) as my citation for all emails
received that have information included on family members. I am sure that
there are many variations; if I was starting out, I would use Elizabeth S.
Mill's book to find a standard citation.
Here is my blank citation:
Name [ID #]. <email address>. Subject (Information On
[Commentary] In Response To An
Email From The Compiler Dated [Date]). [Date Emailed]. Personal
Email. ([Date Read]).
Two explanatory notes:
1. ID# - if the email comes from a family member, that identifier goes here;
2. If I have asked for information then the phrase "In Response . . . Dated
[Date]" is used;
I hope that this helps in some way.

Subject: [LegacyUG] emails & Legacy
I was wondering how others handle this.
I receive e-mails from other family researchers asking various questions,
sometimes sending me information that I'd like to document and if I find
additional information be able to readily get back in touch with that
researcher. Sometimes I have a related person in my database and sometimes
not. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to document this is Legacy,
any ideas would be appreciated.
As with a recent e-mail, I said I'd get back to her if I find additional
information, I have family folders in my e-mail program, but having it in
Legacy would be much more practical.
Thanks,
Syble Glasscock
