I am gathering a lot of information from other family members via email. I am curious how others are saving and citing emails as source? (Interesting that "email" was not on the default "Master Source Type List".)
What do you put as the Master List Name, Author and Title? Do you have any unique way of cataloging these emails? I just purchased Acrobat and am saving all source emails as .pdf files. I think this will preserve the original view of the email as much as possible. I am also contemplating whether it is also worth copying the body of the email text into the "Text of Source" window. I am leaning towards yes, as no one knows whether acrobat will be available 300 years from now. (Yes, or whether Legacy will be either... I know... hard copy print and multiple digital formats (.txt, .pdf and Legacy...<g>)) Thanks for any comments. -Trent Wong Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
