Paula, I believe this to be a matter of personal choice. We have had no indication from Legacy that they intend to abandon the Basic Source option, and if they do I imagine that there will be a massive outcry! The advice we have had so far, from Geoff, is to make the change slowly, such as when we have to add/change a source. I haven't quite followed this advice myself, but not too far off it. I have decided to retain many of my Basic Sources, such as for censuses and vital events, even though I now also have Sourcewriter Sources for them. I consider it would take far too long to change them to the Sourcewriter format which I currently use. I have changed a few where I have no Sourcewriter Sourcing, but these tend to be rather a small number. To summerise, I am intending to continue use Sourcewriter for most new entries and keep the Basic ones which I already have.
