Hello Gail: Your list was extremely informative. Thanks for doing that tabulation. Your breakdown appears to pretty closely follow Elizabeth Shown Mills' recommendations. Now, of course, it generates a few additional questions:
1) Does a list of 800+ Master Sources become cumbersome to manage? (Is it difficult to find things?) 2) Do you use Legacy's Source List Name field (short name) to cause like items such as books, church or cemetery records to sort together on the Master Source List or does that happen automatically because of the title of the citation? (I can see that census listings would sort together, but church records and some of the others probably would not.) 3) If you do use a "short name," how do you keep track of what you called things? Thanks again for your response; it's been very helpful.
