On the source detail information tab, I put things like: full date, full location (meaning mm/dd/yy and town/county/state/country) month/year year, county/state state
By putting the full data in the detail, I felt like I was getting too many 'different' sources listed that were really the same source. This method has helped to cut down on that. If I only have the year and county/state and then get a new source that has the full date and full location I would put that in the detail. If I got different information I would add an ALT field with a new source and applicable detail.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] 2 different sources for date and location: Opinion please
In this data I am reviewing, I am finding ancestors with birth and/or death
dates listed, but no location. In this second set of information, it has the
locations, but not the dates.
Example: Book by Galbreath, William tells me when my ancestors were born, and a different source tells me where.
But when you go to Source the birthdate, it applies it to both the date and
location when in my situation, I need to split that. Two different sources
to obtain what Legacy credits as one. How do you handle it please?
Thank you.
Robert
