For inconsequential changes like you mention, I agree with Mary 100%. The
question I ask myself is would someone on the LUG be able to duplicate my
work? If I answer yes, then I go with the condensed version. Only if I
thought the group could not follow what I meant - if they were to read my
Wouldn’t the correct way to cite a death certificate be to use the format of

them accordingly.

The source if the information is the certificates, NOT Ancestry.com or even the

Not the same as what the OP asked. DVD-ROM and CD disks are different media

Tim,
If I was managing this set of computers that you installed Legacy on, I would
have you banned from using any again. One should NEVER install or even attempt
to install any software on any machine that is not theirs.
I sure hope this FHC has a simple method of rebuilding their machines, as
That's fine if the owner of the computer will allow you to install a
program on it. Not everyone will, especially at a library or other
public computer.
Of course, one should *never* use their customer number in Legacy on a
computer that's not theirs!
Please make sure if you're installing
David, I disagree with you completely. The internet is a repository, like a
library. Ancestry.com is like a book (or more accurately, like a series of
multi-volume books) within that library. I certainly would cite the name and
page number of a book I found within a library.
While I agree
I agree with Cynthia.
Your source is an image from Ancestry.com, not an official death certificate
from the North Carolina Board of Health (or whatever it may have been called in
the past). Your citation needs to be clear that you were using an online image
from Ancestry.com. You really

You may be unfamiliar with DVD-RAM. It looks like a DVD but appears like a
slow, internal hard disk to Windows. In principle it can be formatted to pretty
much any file system, but UDF is usual - for good reason. XP used FAT32

I'm coming in a little late on this topic but here's my 2 cents worth.
First, ask yourself will someone else be able to reproduce my work following my
sources? If the anwer is yes, don't beat yourself up too badly about proper
format. Second, don't drive yourself crazy with tiny details.

I’m afraid that I cannot see what you are doing here – you say ”download from
my documents folder”, to where? Legacy only remembers the path to a picture and
does not store the pictures themselves (except for the multimedia backup).

I don't agree Connie. Nothing is stored on the Internet, but on
servers that you can access thru the internet. The Internet is just a
method to allow you to get to the servers such as on Ancestry.com.
And even at that, Ancestry.com probably does not have the originals,
but only copies. So where

instead of linking. I presume that is not true but is there clarification on
that?

Simply not the case, except for multimedia backups which have always backed
up the picture and the path - which BTW is why I do not use it!

I have added photos from family members on Facebook (and other), which
originally had the notice which I copied to my photo notes immediately, that
called it an embedded photo. Legacy seems to maintain the above stuff, but when
sent from me to someone afterward, I don't know if it passes on. It
Not true, Legacy stores the link to the photos that is why when you send a
file to someone you also have to send the multimedia files that go with
them.
