I would appreciate it if any of you would point out any problems you think I may have by using the following sourcing approach re: interviews, emails, phone calls, etc...
I have a master source for the "Personal Knowledge" of each of my relatives from whom I have obtained data about their relatives and/or our common ancestors. Then in the detail I put "email Sep 9 2009" or "interview Aug 5 2009" or "questionnaire Jun 1989." Admittedly, I sometimes will set up a separate source for a letter, because I have hard copy. And most of mine are Basic format (for now). When I started using SW format, I went gung ho for the email template, etc., but then thought I really didn't need a master source for each email I received from my cousin in England! Another advantage I thought I would have is that I could turn off printing these detail citations more easily, if nec. for some reporting in the future. I welcome your thoughts, "flame" or otherwise. ;) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Harbaugh Hopkins Hughes Jones Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sullivan Williams ----- Original Message ---- From: Jenny M Benson <ge...@cedarbank.me.uk> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 5:16:32 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter - IRC - which template and how to use it specifically?

I would use the template for Interviews>Transcripts>Privately held. I think the word "transcript" only appears in the Bibliography and you can use the Override on the Master Source to delete that word if it is not appropriate. Personally, I don't think the fact that the "interview" - or "chat" - took place online rather than face to face is important, but you could add a note to that effect in the Comment if you wished. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
