Both Master Sources and Source Details have fields for Text and for Comments. This is how I use them, when I do: In Master Source Text I will enter an "official" description of the Source, if I think it necessary/helpful, usually taking such information from the webpage the Master Source relates to. One example is "The object of the [project] is to provide an on-line index of the 194,815 burials that took place in this cemetary from 1840 to 1978. There have also been a small number of burials since that time in family sites." In Master Source Comments I will add information such as "This person is my 2nd cousin and their tree is unsourced." FIn Detail Source Text I will enter the actual text of the particular Source, which would be a copy of the information from a FamilySearch page, or a transcript of a Birth Certificate, for example. Source Detail Comments are a comment on the specific record/document I am citing, such as writing "Patron submission" where appropriate for a record from the IGI. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
