Everytime I open my Legacy family file and click on the triangle to open the
source clipboard, I keep getting the following: runtime error 380, invalid
property value. Then it closed the Legacy program. I have the latest build. I
have run the file maintenance on the file a couple of times,
Hi Lloyd,
If you are using the + after the name in the burial field, select
'Burial Address'. Fill in all the info. Next person you wish to add the
same cemetery, select 'Burial Address'. Then in the next dialog, just
select 'Address List'. Select the one you wish, then the info will
populate

Plodding along with my test data, I wanted to add a source for some of the
data using a death certificate. I thought I understood the Master Source
would add that citation to each fact I chose. So why did I have to enter the
certificate number and year [and some other things I ignored] each time?
Hi, Cheryl,
Legacy is designed with both a Master Source and Source Detail. Think of the
Master Source as a book, and the Source Detail as a page in that book.
While it is possible to set up a Master Source to be just one person's death
certificate, I don't split sources to that extreme.
Cheryl,
It will, but this rather depends on how you have set it up, and how you are
using it. Are you using the Source clipboard - details in the help files -
and I am right in thinking that you have a unique Master Source for each
death certificate?
I just have a Master Source for all Death
This was my first source in Legacy. Obviously I didn't quite
understand it but I like what you are saying better. One Logan County
1850 Census too I hope. That's the way I have been doing it but my old
program really doesn't go for it.
I should set up these Master Sources first?

I need to read some more. Thanks.

Hi Cheryl,
There are a few great examples of sourcing and citations on the video
web page section.

Hi Cheryl - if you create a master source for 1850 Census - Logan
County, Ohio (or State it is), you might end up with way too many master
sources listed. It would probably be better to keep master sources more
broad, just not too broad. For example, you might want one master
source for 1850

I have those but I'm still stuck on the way the places work. [But I'll
save that because I haven't even figured out the question.] And I am
good on sources, just not sources in Legacy apparently.

Most every ancestor living at the time lived in the same county for
the 1850 [1860, 1870, etc. through 1970] census so at least that one
would work. Very thoughtful of them.
That brings up the question, is there a some workable limit on master
sources, shouldn't have more than X?
On Mon, Oct 11,
No, I entered a specific death certificate. Back to the drawing board.
Thanks for that Jenny. It clarifies some things for me.

The number of files you can have is virtually infinite, based on your hard
drive size. I have 2000+ master soures, and there are some folks on this site
with many more than that. When, (and if) your computer slows because of file
size, you may (then) need a larger computer, but I would not
I have about 12,000 people in my file but I have 8G memory so I assume
that isn't an issue. This has been very helpful. Thank you.

One more thought - if you are just beginning, you will encounter a
similar issue with PLACE names. There's a difference of opinion on here
since some genealogists insist on using the actual names of the places
that existed at the time of the birth, death, etc. Just be aware that
whenever you
While I agree with Jerry's general suggestion (keep master sources more broad,
just not too broad), I draw the line differently.
I *do* keep my Master Source for US census records at the county, not the
state, level. Makes for a lot less work fiddling with details, *and* helps me
see at a
Place names in Legacy still baffle me. I don't understand the system.
I want to use the name they had at the time of the event because, at
least in the county I mostly work in, where the record currently is
depends on when it was created. If you put down the current name of
the county and it is a
Cheryl,
You have no need to think about the number of Master Sources, you are never
likely to reach a limit.
There are basically two ways of looking at Sourcing, and many discussions as
to which is the best can be found in the LUG archives (link at the end of
every email). These have acquired
Cheryl,
Like you, most of my people are in rural areas. I use a simple place name
system, always recording the place as it was at the time the event happened.
For example,
Blythedale, Harrison Co., Missouri
Colfax Twp., Harrison Co., Missouri
Cedar Hill Cemetery, Blythedale, Harrison Co.,
I am a lumper. I also survived Elizabeth. I think she is something of a
lumper herself but she doesn't care what you are as long as all the
information is there and in proper format.
