Hi George,
Well pretty slim notes... a name, date and church name written on a
scrap paper.
But... you are right... that could be one way of covering it.
Thanks for the advice,
Brian

When adding a master source using Source Writer there is a tab for

I think the video was a new one. It covered both using Source Writer

With _EE_ you have the latest thinking on whether or not to list

Like you, I've no interest in debating. Mostly I'm interested in
learning from the expertise and experience of others.
From Geoff's response I think I was confusing the list of repository

like Legacy does prompt for a

When I first purchased Legacy version 6 I also purchased the instructional
videos which in my opinion were excellent and very instructive. Much better
than the manual. I highly recommend them.

With so many sources on the internet now, putting the specific url as the

Hi Jeff,
I don't have an answer to your question but wanted to say that I, too,
very much like the videos. I only started a few months ago with Legacy

videos primarily for beginners like myself. I have found them very
helpful.
Brian,
I only use the site title (this is the name which appears at the top of your
browser) and the Url is that of the Home page (index page). The problem with
using others is that they are very liable to change. I have on occasions used
the URL of the actual page, usually if the page is

Double click the Sources icon (pic of books), either from the tool bar at
the top of the Legacy screen, or from the Family View tool bar directly
below individual data for the person you want to source. A list of your

You did not do anything wrong. The list when you open the assigned

I know what you mean. It always strikes me as strange too. But, what
you are seeing on the events and sources list is captions from the
marriage data entry form. If you open the marriage data entry form for
an individual, you will see two check boxes on the upper left side. If

However, if I select Cite a Master Source or Add a New Source, these 2

There actually is no citation for these source fields. The program simply fills
in the spouse's name right in the first Events column, even when it says Did
not marry: SPOUSE'S NAME which makes no sense to me!! As I said in the other
post, I will ignore these fields.
Yes, I assign sources
Aha! Just for fun, I checked that box on the wife's record and it changed her
married name back to her maiden name. It had no effect on the source listing
Events column data, tho, for her nor her husband. Thanks for the input.

I am doing something similar. I was told that I could not put the program on
a memory stick but I could take my data on one. I would not be able to

It does that because if he (or she) has more than one spouse you need to
know which marriage the source is for. With multiple marriages those
facts will be listed for each marriage.

Hi Gayle, you can always download and use your passwords to use Legacy on

any saved Legacy files off their computer.

I believe the woman's name is there so you will know which couple you're
assigning a source to. If there were only one wife that would be obvious,
but with 2-3 wives you need a little clue.
