Maybe importing without the "Master source" would have been better, but (like Richard) when I converted to Legacy I set it to mark all info as from my Generations file (as well as importing real source info). For a while that was useful, but now I would like to delete that master source.
I tried Leon's suggestion and got an error message saying I could not delete the source because it is in use (which it is, on 3000+ people and many many events). Now I delete that source for each fact any time I work on a person, but like Richard I would like to be able to delete the Master source once, from one place. There is no source detail for this source. Anyone know if this is possible?

This means, I believe, that every bit of data will be assigned that new Master Source.
