Kirsten,
I do not really use the Sources for the purposes which you indicate but as a
lumper I would say that your supposition is not really accurate. For example
all BMD certificates in the UK are issued by the GRO (Government Record
Office) and I lump all these together under Certificates published by the
GRO. However, in the Details I specify the type of certificate and where
appropriate the date (although usually the latter would be in the event).
Similarly for newspapers the name of the newspaper and date, page etc would
go in the Detail.

Subject: [LegacyUG] More Lumping and Splitting

I'm not experienced in the various options within Legacy for printing books
so I may have a wrong impression, but wouldn't the Master Source List
equate
to a bibliography at the end of a book? And if so, wouldn't "lumping" say,
all bmd records under a Master Source perhaps called "Vitals," defeat that
function?
Also, couldn't the Master Source List serve as a checklist of the resources
you had used in research? In that case, wouldn't lumping say, various
newspapers together under "Newspapers," also defeat that function?
Or are there better ways to get a bibliography-type report rather than
using
the Master Source List? (I know the "To-Do" list is supposed to be good
for
tracking research; unfortunately I'm just not very religious about using it
that way.)
