Subject: [LegacyUG] Sourcing a little faster

I thought I'd mention a little tip which I reminded myself about
recently:  it might be useful to a few people.

I was working on a project which involved adding a lot of new people and
new information to my database but restricted to about 4 or 5 different
Sources.  As my Master Source List is a a few hundred items long, it
takes quite while to find the one I want each time,

What I do under these circumstances is to open the Master Source List
and Tag those 4 or 5 different Master Sources and then select Show Only
Tagged Sources.  If I do then need to select a different Source it only
takes a moment to untick the Tagged box, select the Source I want and
then go back to the limited list.

Of course, I also the Source Clipboard as much as possible.  For
example, if I am adding a new set of children to a family it might
involve Sourcing their Births and their Baptisms.  Firstly I add each of
the children, adding as much information as I know on their Individual
screen.  Then I add the Source for the Birth of the first one and copy
that to the Clipboard, paste it for the next child and amend the details
as necessary, copy and paste to the next and so on.  That I repeat the
process to Source their Baptisms.
