Re: [LegacyUG] Assigned sources for: (what are these?)
The default for Mother and Father rel is natural, indicating that they are the natural parents of the child. If the child was adopted, that would show in the relationship. If you right click on a child and select children's settings, you will see some boxes at the bottom of the window where you can set these relationships. Normally they are not used.

Re: [LegacyUG] Assigned sources for: (what are these?)
Bill, As you're fixing all your sources, are you sticking with the Basic system or moving them to SourceWriter? I've been converting all of mine to SW but find that I occasionally need to do some file maintenance to keep everything working properly. Since Legacy added SW, I'm assuming that, going forward, it will be the format more favored. What do you think? Thanks, Deborah William H. Boswell wrote: Only if I have a source to add to them. I generally leave it checked all the time because if it is unchecked and you delete a source, that event will disappear. Since I am in the process of a major cleanup of my data file (GEDCOM import to Legacy), I'm having to fix all of my sources, delete the old citations and replace with the fixed one with images. When I delete the old citation, it will keep me in the spot where I need to paste the new one using the source clipboard. If you uncheck the Show All Events you will notice that the unused ones will disappear and only show the events that are in use. I guess you can say these unused items are just placeholders for new information if you need to use them. -Original Message- From: Deborah Trounstine [mailto:dtrounst...@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 8:53 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Assigned sources for: (what are these?)

RE: [LegacyUG] Assigned sources for: (what are these?)
Deborah: I'm staying away from it right now only because I had used something similar to it in FTM 2009 and didn't like their version and ended up switching back to their basic version. The problem with templates is that they don't always have what I need. Also, my imported sources are set up for the basic system in Legacy. I'm just having to move citation text from Citation Comments to Source Text. When that's done, I'll probably try out the SourceWriter and decide whether to convert.

I have stuck with BASIC Sources - the SW ones (I tried a few) ended up so wordy in reports I hated them. Again - just one opinion.
