----- Original Message ----- From: "Lionel Carter" <lionelcar...@freezone.co.uk> ToSubject: Re: [LegacyUG] Simple Sourcing I'm inclined to agree. The degree of detail should be based on one's objectives, not a preordained set of procedures. The 'efficiency' of finding information in a database is a trade off between time spent inputting info and time spent retrieving. Why spend hours putting in detail so that you can trace it in seconds when you are likely to only want to trace less than 0.1% of it? E.G. rather than spend 500 hours detailing everything 'just in case' it is more 'efficient' to spend an hour tracing, if needed the one item sought. For family history as long as you know which database contains the info then leave it to the search and organisation of that database to find it again. To do otherwise is reinventing the wheel. Ancestry for example will always return the same specifics for a particular search, all you need to know is to look in Ancestry.
