Hi, Cathy, Very interesting idea on listing your sources. I think I may steal the “Book” idea but I really like things listed by location when it comes to records. For instance I do “MA – Worc, Co – Mendon – xxxxx” and find that convenient. But that is a great idea on listing the books I have as sources. Problem remains title of the book is not necessarily even one of my family names. Like the one I’m currently working on.
I’m familiar with using Find in docs and notes and things like that but am wondering if searching a .pdf works the same way.

It helps to work out how you are going to use the Source List Name and edit all Master Sources to change the Source List names. I start the Source List Name with a code for the type of source (eg Book, PR for Parish Register , Cen for Census, Cem for cemetery, V for Vital Record indexes, ...) and then the archive or country or state depending on the source ...

I’m downsizing including getting rid of paper (such a lot of paper) which means checking that I’ve got the sources done. It would help if I could search the list to see if I could find the source just filed differently. Jane in Phoenix
