Hi Scott,
RE question 1.
If you have sources that disagree in substance (not typos and not
transcripts) then you need to record all of them. Depending on the
disagreement, add Alt. Events. eg if sources differ on the birth date or
year, add an Alt. Birth (I don't mean from Census if the age giv

direct sources attached to the record fields. This will allow the sources

This sounds like sound advice. Thank you. I have not upgraded to
Legacy 9 yet - a bit nervous as I some have described problems but the
consensus seems to be that it's fine. So I'll go ahead and do it and
check out the Stories feature.

Thanks, Cathy. Both you and Jenny have asked me why I don't source
names. I should clarify. The censuses form the foundation for
identifying the composition of families (for me), and provide one of the
most important vitals - a person's place and date of birth. I enter the

You don't source Names?
How do you know where you found the name or the name variants?
Yes if it only has the name, then you add the source to the name.
If it had name and birth date, I'd add it to both name and birth date.
The only exceptions for me is if I have a number of better sources for
As a little diversion to all the questions about Legacy 9, I found a

We may be getting too nit-picky for many people (so those who aren't interested
in the details of source citation a la EE can stop reading now). But, for

Like I said, semantics. I would use the same setups as a census type, which is
a database with photos? Whatever works for you.

Do the notes for the database say how it was compiled? Cemetery's DB or
