I have just been reminded about the fact that when one shares an Event, ALL attached Sources are applied to the people with whom the Event is Shared. This has been mentioned here before as it is not always appropriate.
To give one example, I had the GRO Registration Index entry as a Source for Marriage. Subsequently I was able to access the Parish Register and added that as a Source. From the PR I gleaned the names of 2 family members who were Witnesses so I Shared the Marriage Event to these 2 people. The GRO Index does not show the Witnesses so is not relevant as a Source for their Shared Event, but it appears as one. What are other LUGgers doing in these circumstances? Are you deciding not to use Shared Events in these cases? Are you ignoring the problem and allowing the incorrect Sourcing to stand? Are you adding a comment to the Citation to indicate that it does not apply in all instances where it is Shared? I really want to make use of Sharing, but I am not at all happy with having "faulty" Sourcing. I hope the ability to separate Sources for Shared Events is something the programmers might give us eventually. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
