Hi All, I am in hopes that some of you more experienced users can advise me on the best way to clean up master sources? When originally entered, I created a source (relative to whichever event) example Birth Certificate: Jane Doe, DOB. Now that my list of sources is getting so long, I thought I would use Legacy's SW and create one source per state per event, example for Birth Records: "Pennsylvania, Birth Certificates After 1906". In my obsession also of "everything must match", I am confusing myself as to what way is the best way is to represent my research. Since SW mirrors EE, I thought it would be best to switch to this format. The final result must make sense and be easy to follow so that I can be consistent here on out when adding new information. Truth be told, this attempt at organization maintenance is how I ended recreating my file from scratch while using FTM and now that the number of individuals in my file has quadrupled, I don't wish to repeat this nightmare.
I have yet to make use of the tagging features in the program, mainly from a lack of understanding of how and why they would be used. Can tagging be used to mark the records I want to convert from an individual basic source to a source writer source? Or else, can it only be changed tediously, one record at time by adding and removing sources and than once a source has no one associated with it, deleting it? Some of you have mentioned the "Source Template Conversion Tool", but if I am following correctly this feature is not yet available in the Legacy program? Any suggested work about, like maybe this L Tools some have mentioned? Hope I made enough sense that someone can offer some sage advice! Thanks!
