If you add a large amount of text such as life stories to a source, wouldn't this get repeated in the report every time you cited that same source to other individuals. I noticed this when I did a report so I could clean up my sources, which I'm still doing slowly, and all of that text ended up attached multiple times. I know you can turn it off, but at some point I'd like that text to appear somewhere in the report.
I always source it as to where I got it from either a taped interview, told to me personally, web sites, or obtained elsewhere with the person or website as the source. I use myself as a source only if I personally witnessed an event such as a wedding or funeral. The Master Genealogist, which I don't use anymore, has a witness area of the sources where you or others could be listed as witnessing an event. I don't know if Legacy has this or not. I didn't find it very useful anyway. How would you know who witnessed what 100 years ago? I witnessed a number of funerals, but can't remember who was buried for some of them since I was rather young.
