As your source comes in brackets, I'm almost sure you didn't name the
source, but only have an input in the Title field.
Since you get the source in a Family Group Record, you should be able to go
to the event that the source is attached to (eg. 3), and from there give a
name to the source, and

Is there a naming convention or pattern in naming sources. The

After using the advice below, which will hopefully allow you to see the
source in the master list, it then becomes easy find out who else it may be
assigned to by clicking show list in the master list. On the next screen
you can delete it and all citations n one step.

Michael,
I believe Evidence Explained sets out some simple guidelines for naming
sources, and that she recommends using the country, state, etc when
possible.
Because my research is almost entirely in this country (to this point), I do
not use USA in my source names. Example from my source
Michael - naming your sources is for your benefit only in being able to find
them in the Master Source list when you want to use a source again. You need
to think about how you will go about looking for something in a list. I
find Geoff's method of locality a good one for some sources, like

Examples from my source list.
Geographically:
Illinois, White - census 1850 (Ancestry)
Illinois, White - census 1860
IMHO, since with sources, the Source List name doesn't
print much, and the Title does, I put abbreviations in
the SLN, and spell out in the Title.

I think you're dealing with two issues here. As Jenny says, if you use the

automatically defined. And yes, there are established standards for the
formal source names--although there's some variation there,

Hi all
This is an interesting thread.
Genealogy programs tend to allow different ways of doing the same things and
Legacy is no exception. The bottom line has to be that you put data into
the program in such a way as to get the results out that you want from the

Helen:
Think of one as a formal name and one as a shorter informal name. The
formal name is what prints out in reports; the informal name is what shows
in the Master Source List and the way the list and a bibliography are
alphabetized. If you have your master sources so you can find them, then
IMHO, the Master Source List is, as said previously, a
shortened simplified name, and the 'Title' could be
seen as the Legal/Formal title. The Title prints on
reports, so should be Bibliographcally accurate
(sic?).
