I do mostly Basic, but when you have a source exmple: title: USA IL Cook
Chicago census 1930.
Step one. confirm this source is attached to at least one person (or it changes
without asking).
Step two. find the person to recieve a 'new' source (1920) and add the 1930 to
that person.
Step three.
Kevin,
Whether you are using SourceWriter or the Basic format, you will need to create

another way to achieve this.

Thanks Kirsten, that is what I needed to know.
I suppose the ability to copy and paste elements of the citation is not a
total loss.

AFAIK, there is no way to sort the Index on anything other than RIN,
User ID, First Name, or Surname. In fact, I do not think there is
anyplace inside Legacy where you can sort like this.
You can do a search for dates within a range, or you could export your
name list to .csv format and sort it
Kevin,
I think if you look in the archives it would be of good
thoughts/suggestions. As Kirsten mentions, we had a fairly long thread
about it.

You are correct on both counts, except that the name index indexes by
surname but also by given name for each surname.
If you require advice on adding a search box to your webpages I suggest that
you join WUL (Web Users Legacy) and ask the question there, as that list can
