Hard to say without knowing the nature of the attachment. I would ignore the fact that it came to you attached to an e-mail and cite it according to the nature of the document itself. I have of been sent genealogies, in all sorts of different forms, as e-mail attachments. Sometimes these are trees or charts produced by a program such as Legacy, sometimes hand-drawn trees, sometimes just a narrative. It took me a while to decide on which was the best template to use and I finally settled on Gedcom File, even though I have rarely, if ever, actually been sent a Gedcom! I create a Master Source entitled "Genealogy - xxx (xxx)" were xxx (xxx) is the title of the document or name at the top of the "tree" and (xxx) is the surname of the person who sent it to me, one Master Source for each document. On the Source Details screen I enter "entry for <name>, page n" in the Item of Interest field, write the text of that particular entry or section in the Text field and attach a scan of the entire document. (An alternative would be to attach the scan to the Master Source.) There is nothing on the resulting Citation, on screen or in a Report, which suggests that I've used a Gedcom template for a document which isn't a Gedcom. It doesn't pay to get too held up by the NAME of a template, or even on the names of the fields, but concentrate on how the resulting citation reads. -- 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).
