There are as probably as many different ways of titling your sources as there are members on here... lol
Myself I usually title everything in the following format: Document Type, Year, Municipality, Region Makes finding any master source relatively easy in the list when citing sources. As for the cruise... I am jealous ;) -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of RICHARD SCHULTHIES Sent: June-11-09 2:33 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] source types - new not integrated? Right now my census records are named this way. 'USA, IL, Cook, Chicago, 1930'. Whenever the converter is operational (if ever), I will convert all my stuff. The multiple field types should make it possible to find all Chicago or all 1930, or other data choices. Because of my over 2000 sources, I am numbed by the task. Since my local society is having a convention this month, and Millenia is booked I will probably discuss the situation.
