SourceWriter Templates are not focussed on "sites" but on Source types.

It helps when there is a specific template for a particular source like
the 1841 UK Census but it's not necessary.

I see your point now - add it to all 3 name fields (the child and both
parents). I would absolutely do that if it were the only or one of the

it regardless. Here is my dilemma: I have transcribed the sketch which

I agree with Joseph. I use the workaround, and it is only needed when first

There are two know issues when you first open a file, both are recorded
in the problem tracking system.
1. Tag contents do not show

Both problems have existed since Legacy 8.0 so they are not new to

The use of Hints to point you at other websites can be
