As in any "pocket" of life, genealogy has a culture and a vocabulary. You may not like the Mills sourcing, and certainly have no requirement to use it.
Having said that, I think you may be leading others astray when you trivialize it. It is, at present, the industry standard, in the U.S. at least. I think that we can only benefit from a study of her work, even if we ultimately choose not to embrace it. Additionally, I do believe that Legacy's inclusion of Mills' sourcing in the new version will only serve to expand their market, and make it more likely for all of us that Legacy will prosper and continue to provide a good product. I am presently at IGHR, where Elizabeth Shown Mills is lecturing, although I am not in her lecture track. As a humorous note - she looks a bit like a goddess - slim, well-coiffed, and very well-dressed! No grapes or fig leaves. :-) Janis Walker Gilmore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Richardson Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2008 1:43 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Non-US Censuses in v7 Some American friends may ignore her, too. These Source Templates are way too complicated and confusing. I have Legacy set to Basic.

But then I never thought her alledged "standards" would fit the UK. I think this is one of those times when we just leave our American friends to it.
