Well, as many of us, myself included have said - this is a very flexible program and you can record your information pretty much any way you want. Personally, even if someone tells me that so-and-so was born on such-and-such date, I record it in the birth event with the person who told me as the source. If I find physical evidence that substantiates what the person told me, that gets a high surety mark where the person's report has a low one but both get credit as a source.

If Aunt Mary tells me that Cousin John was born xxxx then I make an event "InfoRcvd" that records the fact that Mary said so but I do not make an Birth event for cousin John based on that info. I make an event "InfoRpt" for John that says maary says he was born xxxx. Birth, Marriage, Death, Burial events are created in my database only if there is an original contemporary document available as a source. ----- Original Message ---- From: M.

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.
