Frank, I think most of us who ask "how to...?" want to avoid pitfalls others may have already found with certain ways to do things. Or at least learn what the pros and cons are for different methods. At least that's true for me. Our different objectives often cause us to choose one way over another. I agree on consistency!! Right now I'm trying to pull my data back together to be consistently recorded. I started with a transfer from FTM and then starting changing Sources, then learned more about Legacy from this list, then changed my mind on Sources, then learned more..., etc! --Paula

A boss of mine once gave me his rule - 'It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, as long as you are consistent'. Provided we follow this rule, those that follow after can decipher how we've recorded certain things. Let's not be concerned too much about what is the right way - just be consistent!
