Why? Why is the IGI any different than a family member saying that something happened on such-and-such date? List the event as you would any other bit of information and put the IGI as a source. If this is a birth record, then when you get true information from a birth record (if possible) then it gets added as a source for that information. You can always swap Alt Birth with the Birth information, for example.

I add an event to the person called Verify and list all IGI info in that event as a task to be verified. Indexes (of any kind) are not sources but merely clues and hints to the original documents which ARE sources and which I put in my master Source List. ----- Original Message ---- From: Valerie Garton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Friday, December 7, 2007 5:42:07 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] How to make a Master Source of the IGI I am about to tidy up my Legacy file now that I know a little more. I want to start with all the entries that are there from the IGI and also to add many more so I want to do it right. Yes I know it is my list and I can do it any way I like so long as anyone can find the information BUT I would like some input as to how others have managed the IGI as a Master Source.
