Dear Jerry,
Many thanks to you and others for their comments.
I have no problem with the difference between a master source record (eg
Birth certificates) and source detail (an individual, specific, birth
certificate).
I thought that I would try and tidy up my records and check that all my
info
Dear Connie,
Thank you for your reply. On an individual's record (eg Jean Skeet) I
have just clicked on 'Cite a Master Source' (from the 'books' icon
bottom right of a record),
chosen the source I wanted (eg 'Birth certificates'), then added the
source detail (individual birth cert - here for
Joan,
You said, Moving next to marriage certificates, there is no 'Marriage'
under
'Events'. Ergo, I want to create an 'Event' called 'Marriage' with a
Master Source 'marriage certificates' and then list the details of
individual marriage certificates along with the details for a given
Joan,
You do not have to create a marriage event. There are two ways to link a
source to the marriage:
1. click on the sources Icon beside the marriage information to open the
list of marriage sources
3. scroll the list of events for a person down to the Marr: (spouse
name) and link your source
Dear Michele,
Many thanks for this. What you describe is what I've been doing up to
now, though without all the detail of witnesses etc - though, as you
say, they could easily be added.
I thought that using 'master sources' was the 'way to go' but I'm
rapidly rethinking that it is really just
(and I am a
lumper!)

I now get the picture of how the system is intended to be used. I have
to say that although I have frequently come across Bishop's transcripts,
I have never come across an Archdeacon's Transcript!

Hi!
How can you change the name of a source from 'Unspecified'?
I have set up a new master source as a template for the information
contained on a standard birth certificate.
I have called it 'Birth certificate template' but it would be nice
if it weren't

Joan,
I'm a bit confused by your question, but I hope one of these answers will be
responsive:
(1) An unspecified event (not source) is built in to Legacy for every
person. As far as I know, you can't change it. What you can do, however, is
ignore it.
Make sure you've copied the source to

Many thanks for this, but two points;
How do I create a template? The only way I seem to be able to do this
is to name a master source then copy paste the template details from a
saved Notepad file. This is pretty clumsy!

Thanks, Mike. I realise that a master source isn't a template - I'd
just like to create a template so that I can be consistent save time
filling in details. I've actually now filled in all my birth
certificates - generically as a master source called 'Birth Certificate'
under Event 'Birth', but
Joan,
You can't create a template for your sources, per se. What you have to do is
create a Master Source (such as the name of a book, or the state/country that
issued the birth certificate) and then add Source Details (such as the page
number of the book, or the birth certificate number).
at these please feel free to come back if there are
things which you still don't understand.

Hi Joan. Others have already mentioned about the difference between the
source record and the source detail, but I'll say it a different way.
The source record is a master record that will be exactly the same for
every person for whom it is used, whereas the source detail is the
specific detail
Thanks Mike for the following
Legacy provides a way of sourcing evidence to support events such as births and
christenings which can point to a father-son relationship, but the link between
a father and son for instance does not seem to be capable of being supported by
a source citation/
