Thanks, bgsu, You wrote: "Or, when the OP gets that 'Show List' screen, he/she can press that big ol' button on the right which says 'Delete this Master Source and All Citations to it'."
However, when I click on the "Show List" button, which would ordinarily take me to the window with the big button that you mention, I'm not taken to that Window at all!! Instead, I simply get a message saying "This Master Source is attached to Marriage Record 902." -- which Marriage Record is not even in the file!!!
