Jane,
Your PDF reader will have a Search function.
I'm not in the USA so putting location first makes no sense to me but I
understand it does in the USA.
Re your books - in the Source List Name you can put what family or area
is covered - you don't have to stay with the Title in the Source List Name.
I also add that type of data when sourcing online trees. I rarely just
have an online tree for the source unless it's for the tree owner and
their immediate family - but I like to include trees if they've provided
major clues. The Tree name often doesn't reference my family of interest
so I'll add desc. of our common ancestor.

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.
Thanks,
Jane in Phoenix

Jane,
I think you'd need to generate a Source Report, save as PDF and search
that.
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 ...

Does anyone know if it is possible to search the Sources List to find
a specific word? I’ve checked the attached help page but no joy. 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.
