Hi Marli, "do you enter the date accessed or not and why?"
Not sure which date you mean, so will answer for a couple of different dates... I include the date I accessed the data in a source citation, if it was an online source. I do that because web pages can be changed at any time, and it may not contain that same information at a later date. If I was going to be really paranoid about it, I'd take a screen shot of the web page for posterity (Snagit is my preferred program for doing that, as it can record an entire web page when it is bigger than the screen). I also include the citation date in the source, to show when I entered that particular item of data. I don't delete old data when I find something more accurate, and sometimes you'll get only part of the data (a date without a location, or vice versa), so when I produce a report the progression of knowledge can be seen. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ 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).
