This sounds like sound advice. Thank you. I have not upgraded to
Legacy 9 yet - a bit nervous as I some have described problems but the
consensus seems to be that it's fine. So I'll go ahead and do it and
check out the Stories feature.

I see two things here:
1. The article/excerpt itself seems like it was tailor-made for the
new Stories feature in Legacy 9.0. I would enter the entire sketch and
use the Texas history book as the source. You can then share that
story with all the other family members mentioned if you wish.
2. If the article mentions new people (or new information about
existing ones) then I would enter/add the data and use the article as
the source for the data. For example, if the article has a date that
you were missing then it is the source for that new date. If it
mentions a new person then it is the source for all the data you enter
from that article about that person.

As a little diversion to all the questions about Legacy 9, I found a
biographical sketch of my ancestor’s brother in a Texas history book
published in 1893. It contains a trove of information about my
ancestor’s family and that of his parents, presumably from the
subject
who was 44 years old at the time. The names of his siblings and
aunts
and uncles and all their spouses are included. As a source for these
names, I’m wondering where to best enter them; I usually put census
entries into the birth field, since date and place of birth are
always
identified (usually). Since date and place are not included in the
sketch, should the source be added to the person’s name? I usually
don’t input sources into the name field but this seems to make the
best
sense. Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barton
