Barton,
I am a bit surprised that no one has mentioned the Media tab of a citation. >From the Edit the Source Detail dialog, click the Media tab. Click Add Media. >In the Media Gallery for Source Detail for [name of Event/Fact], click Add >Media. From the list, select Internet Website. It is on the Internet Website >dialog that you can add the url, along with information that describes that >url, even the date. I too use urls for a specific online record, whether that record is from Ancestry, FamilySearch, the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, or some other location online. At the moment I am waiting for the next set of fixes to Legacy as the current version truncates (cuts short) the thousands of urls my GEDCOM is importing. As for a url possibly changing in the future, our job is to record where we found something at that time. If we found a family Bible record in the possession of aunt Beth, that does not mean the old Bible will remain with her forever. Even county records change (old ledgers destroyed, building burnt down, or records lost). I have also seen the reverse with old county history books, the copyright long out of date, being digitized and placed online by the local library.

I have seen many such repositories occasionally change their internal file location structure so that while the URL to the home page which typically contains a “search the database” utility tends to not change, the specific URLs to the records themselves can and usually does change. In other words, you might be better served if you only reference the URL to the repository itself and let future researchers that want to view a specific record within that repository then use whatever search mechanisms are available to them at that future date. I suppose this can all be summed in in Murphy’s 7th Law of the Universe: two things will change in the future, your looks and Internet URLs.
