RE: [LegacyUG] how to add dutch registry to source

Bernard:

 

Perhaps you're trying to fit too much into the "Master Source" category.  You should put in the Master Source fields the information that is common to many of your records.  Information that applies only to one particular record should go in the Source Detail fields. 

 

In the case you cited, the Master Source could simply be "Civil Register, Marriage",  (or if you have many, you might want to separate them by location).  For example, I use "Death Record, California," "Death Record, Michigan" etc. as Master Source names.  Then the archive location (your Groninger Archieven) and address goes into Legacy's Repository Location fields.  For source type you could select one of the pre-defined types from the list or add your Huwelijksakte/Marriage Certificate. 

 

Once the Master Source is established, open the Source Clipboard, select the Master Source, and enter the record number, registration date, names, etc. which are all specific to that one marriage record.  While that information is on the Clipboard it takes only a click to add the source to the marriage for the couple and perhaps to the records for the bride, groom and parents--or wherever you want to link it.

 

And by the way, since you already have some of the information typed into your Notes field, you can cut/paste it onto the Clipboard and edit it there to save retyping.

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [LegacyUG] how to add dutch registry to source

I'm having problems figuring out how to add the following source so I've just been adding it into the notes.  Since I have so many entries now using these sources, I figured it would be easier to just learn how to do it right.  Any ideas would be appreciated. 

Here goes:

Source: Civil register - Marriage
Archive location: Groninger Archieven
General Municipality: Muntendam
Type of record: Huwelijksakte
Record number: 8
Registration date: 05-07-1860
Groom: Jan Doddema
Place of birth: Zuidbroek
Bride: Maria Wolters
Place of birth: Veendam
Father groom: Albert Jans Doddema
Mother groom: Elsien Luijes Witwers
Father bride: Hindrik Willems Wolters
Mother bride: Marchien Deddes Deddes
Additional information - beroep bruidegom: arbeider; beroep bruid: naaister; beroep moeder bruidegom: werkvrouw; bruidegom 26 jaar; bruid 25 jaar

Thank you.

Bernard Doddema, Jr.
