Thanks, I may make some adjustments to mine, I do like to keep mine simple. My goal is to have the email documented in Legacy for "my use" at a later time that I might get additional information and then be able to compare, prove or disprove, and then to respond to other interested researchers. I considered an ID#, but I've not assigned ID#'s for all mine. One family file to which I have a well researched and published book, I gave my corresponding family members the same ID# as he has basically to help me keep them identified, due to the fact that there are numerous ones with the same name. Thanks again, Syble
