Dave, Also in my sources the Source Name for each of my Sources begins with the Source type. This is to group my similar sources together since Legacy does not give us sorting options for sources.
Below is my personal knowledge source. I enter the date in the Citation Detail so that I may use this source for many events throughout my life. Personal Knowledge was a valid source used in the 19th Century for veterans of the Revolution for obtaining land grants, and after the Civil War for obtaining pensions. ( Note I replace the @ symbol with <space>at<space>. This is used to thwart spam bots that graze many websites for email addresses and can be done with SEARCH AND REPLACE.)

Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Cripps Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 5:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Personal Knowledge as a Source I'm having trouble getting my mind around creating a source for this sort of event. Let's say my wife attends a funeral of a relative. How do I approach this as a source? We know the facts are true, ie the coffin is on display, a large gathering of family members are present, yet the paper trail is thin. To my thinking, the Surety levels must be high for this event. I was hopinmg for a Personal knowledge type source that hopefully would be a catch-all for this sort of thing. Oh sure there may be newspaper death and/or funeral notices to support this, but let's say there isn't! Any ideas anybody?
