Paul, I decided to take you up on the challenge and looked at mine. I didn't find (yet - I haven't gone through all of mine) your error but did find something curious. There are only a few of my sources created by the Source Writer, and in one of these, in the list just created as you set out,

Further to this, the GEDCOM exported the source as: NSW Registry of Birth, Deaths and Marriages online database, NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, ((http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au)), ), 5540/1937.. What a mess. There we see the extra ), plus an extra period. This is why I don't like the

I've seen similar god-awful problems in GEDCOM exports of my file, too -- many SourceWriter templates do not export properly to GEDCOM, with either stray punctuation and mis-exported fields (e.g., exporting something as PAGE instead of TITL). It gets worse when you leave a field blank within a

[LegacyUG] Private Use Address on Sources

I'm just now getting into more extensive use of Source Writer. How do I change the [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE] in those cases where I do wish to publish the source address? It seems to automatically come up as private and I don't know where the option is to change it to display the address

Sorry to hear that - you seem to be gaining data rather than my problem of losing it. Maybe it's mine!! Actually, I've not used SourceWriter at all, as I understand it's not compatible with the older system I was using when I started which, until now, I had thought was reliable. Paul --- On
