Elizabeth,
As you go through your file, make sure you tag those people you have
completed checking and/or if you go through Master Source by Master
Source, tag the source when it's done.
I'm slowly checking very, very old sources from when I didn't understand
the source and also sources where only transcriptions were available at
the time but now I can see the originals. I use the Show List and tag
the people using the source. If when I finish updating this particular
source, all their other sources are already OK, I tag them on tag 9. Not
enough people tagged on 9 yet ;)

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.

Clipboard question
Elizabeth,
I'm one of them.
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.
