Laurie, That's your choice. I mostly find obituaries in newspapers so I use my Master Source for that newspaper. If I had other sources for obituaries I'd have a Master Source for each obituary database. I guess I'm a partial "lumper" when it comes to Master Sources. A total "lumper" would

Judith, In fact this template was never released, I guess that with the vast range of templates it became too difficult to program. You will no longer find mention of it in the Help Files (or I think not - I am on my tablet and cannot check) and these are always more uptodate than a manual.
