John, You can still add sources for the basic Birth, Death and Marriage events. You don't have to 'create' events for these entries. In fact, to do so would indeed make narratives read most strangely because Legacy would pick up the information from the BD&M ready-made events and then repeat the information from your created events. When you enter the BD&M information you can add a source by having the cursor in the relevant field (e.g. Birth or Death - or Marriage date or place if you are entering a spouse) then clicking on the books icon which will take you to the source screen.

If I create such events then I can source them then add an ID Number such as Birth 01 for the birth cert Death 01 for the Death Cert Marr 01 for the marriage cert then mark each document that sources that information with the appropriate number >From reading some later emails it seems that this way of doing things may affect the narrative Report. Would I be doing this type of entry correctly John Manchester England -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
