I think either an event (as someone suggested) or just at the beginning of General Notes - depends on how close you want it to be to the person's name in whichever report(s) you use most / plan to share. And as Jenny said, consider what words you use as examples - make sure they don't have more than one pronunciation themselves. ;) (I do like using regular words better than using pronunciation symbols... which I would have to look up so I could interpret what you've sent me!) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

My mother was always correcting us on her grandmother's surname of NOEL must be pronounced Newel not like Christmas. Also her aunt and cousins BARRON must be pronounced nasally, sort of like Bahra. (They sometimes appeared in census as BARROW) I considered AKA but tend to prefer a name source. I don't know how to create a source for oral preaching. Any suggestions please? -- Richard Van Wasshnova 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).
