Thanks, Cathy. The sad thing is that when I started family history years ago, there were no computers, and then as things progressed, the ability to do more and more with greater degrees of accuracy and references developed amazingly. But… as I transitioned through a couple of different programs some of the data transfer and referencing did not happen as it should so I now realize that I will have to set aside an enormous amount of time to go through and put it to rights.

Say I'm entering a Source that is an Index rather than a transcription - like South Australian Birth, Death or Marriage Indexes on FindMyPast. I find the entry on FindMyPast and I copy the whole entry and then names and dates and locations that I require either for data entry or to complete my Source. Then I start entering the data in Legacy. I set up the Source Clipboard putting the whole entry in the Source Detail text and making up the Source Detail with a combination of some of what I've copied and boiler text I have previously saved in the M8 clipboard which shows in a different column. Then I enter the data again just pasting the relevant dates and names from the M8 clipboard and source it all with the Source Clipboard that I've set up. So I only have to look at my source on FindMyPast once rather than go to and fro - and t he typing I need to do on data entry is minimal to none. The M8 clipboard sits where you put it and on top of other windows so is easily accessible - or when you're not using it you can minimise it to Taskbar or System Tray. Cathy
