For what it's worth: I always cite every entry. I've learned over the years
that I prefer it that way. However, when printing off information for family
or those interested only in the tree and information, I do NOT include the
sources unless they specifically as for it (I ask them individually before I
print). Most casual people aren't interested in the sources. If I'm sharing
with another researcher, etc. I then include my sources and they are willing
to check the info.
BTW there is a button on the print button were you can include all info
connected to a single entry in one paragraph. This is on the page were info
(footnotes) is printed NOT on the end notes.

using Legacy for several years, but I’m only beginning to cite sources. So,
I’m still trying to figure out the best way to handle citations. Here is the
situation I’m currently grappling with: Until recently, my family database did
not include information about the descendants of one of my great-grandfather’s
sisters. I recently connected with the daughter of the sister and she has
provided me with fairly complete information about all of the sister’s
descendants – about 40 people when you include spouses. (You can imagine my
delight in getting this treasure trove of information in one fell swoop!)
Since this information was fairly hard to come by, I’d like to cite the source
(i.e., personal correspondence from the daughter). But, it feels like
“overkill” to generate a citation to this source for each of four or five
fields of data for each of about 40 people. That’s a lot of repetitive work
(even when using the clipboard) and that will generate a lot of duplicate
footnotes in a descendants report (which is the type of report I most
frequently generate). So, I have been considering preparing one citation
(probably connected with the sister) saying something like: “Unless otherwise
noted, all cited information regarding [Sister X} and her descendants was
obtained from [Name of daughter] by letter dated ____.” The problem I see
with this approach is that for certain kinds of reports, the single citation
tied to the sister may not be included in the report and there will be nothing
cited for a the many descendants. How would those of you familiar with
citation practices handle this situation? Thanks for any assistance you can
provide.--
