I've no idea what counts as an extreme splitter or an extreme lumper. I use the SourceWriter for census records, where it lets me have, as the master source, "1901 Census of England and Wales" as a master record, and each household as a detail record. But if it forced me to have each household as a master record, and each person in the household as a detail record, then I would stop using it for that purpose. Does that make me a splitter or a lumper, extreme or moderate? I don't use Sourcewriter for correspondence, because it makes me enter each letter as a master source. I prefer to make the correspondent the master source, and the "detail" each individual letter, entered by date. Does that make me a lumper or a splitter, extreme or moderate? -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: [email protected] 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
