Hi Cathy,
I see now that I can identify any source template in the Source Writer
with the section treating it in EE. What's confusing is correlating
what EE says with the fields Legacy has chosen to populate the
template. For example, in the example I gave (Marriage records > Found
in governmental records > Marriage
registers > Created at state/provincial level > Microfilm/fiche), there
are 2 fields for repository ("Owner Repository" and "Repository") and
repository city ("Owner Repository City" and "Repository City"). Legacy
says this source template is from Section 9.42 of EE. It's not clear to
me why Legacy has these seemingly duplicative fields. Legacy also has
fields for "No. of volumes" and "No. of rolls." EE doesn't treat
microfilmed records at all in Section 9.42, but it seems reasonable as
to why these fields are included given the type of source.
The bottom line for me is, can we edit fields out in a Legacy template
that don't seem to apply or are duplicative, as in the case here? Can
you in effect create your own template by adding or deleting fields? I
tried Googling this but did not find an answer.
Thanks,
Barton

Barton,
It's much easier to go from EE to the templates - search on the EE
section number as someone has already said.
The Template number that is revealed in the Master Source list is simply
an internal number and can show you which sources you have based on the
same template (which can be merged if necessary) or which templates you
have used.

Yes, that brings up the section where marriage records are discussed.
But there does not appear to be a precise correlation between the
source template in Legacy and EE. Therefore, problems or questions
with the Legacy template cannot be addressed by looking at EE. For
example, in the source screen for the template I chose and have
referenced, beneath the fields "Owner Repository" and "Owner
Repository City" a
re 2 additional fields "Repository" and "Repository
City." What's the distinction?
I thought every source template in Legacy could be tracked back to a
specific section in EE for that source. But it appears that may be
incorrect.

Try searching for marriage records not registers.

Thank you, by doing what you said I see that my source was based on
Marriage records > Found in governmental records > Marriage

searching for the words "Marriage register" in EE, however, this
phrase appears only in church records, not state/governmental
records. I thought every template in the SourceWriter could be
tracked backed to a source in EE. It's unfortunate if that's not the
case, as there appear to be some duplicative fields in the
SourceWriter template and I was hoping to read EE for clarification.

Well, I do know when you go to edit your source you will see the
path of what selections you made to get you to that specific
template. You could then look that path up in EE. I don't know if
there is a way to correspond the 409 number to EE, sorry!

The number that came up when I searched for the template on which I
based my so
urce was 409 (it's a marriage record). I looked in my
copy of EE to see if there was a corresponding # but could not find
it. How do I find the source in EE based on this number?
Thank you.

Glad I could help!
Did you also know that you can type either the page number or
section number from the book Evidence Explained into the Search
box for "What kind of Source Do You Want to Cite" in the Source
Writer, click Search, and it will bring up the citations from
that page or section? I find that very useful as well.

Go into the Master Source list and click on the top left of
the title
"Source List Name" and drag the cross hairs that appear to
the right. A
column will appear of the template number (if created with
Source
Writer) or it will show Basic if the source was created under
basic.
Oh wow! There's a really useful hidden gem I never knew about.
Thank you.
