Also a lumper for most things with Source List Names organised by type.
Certainly not a Master Source for every household in a census. Does TNG
really force that if you want to include the image? If it does, I'd be
attaching the image to the event rather than the source.
No problem finding the Master Source quickly.
I rarely need to edit source detail. When I do, I know what people are
involved so can find the Source Detail on their Assigned Sources pages.
However, it's usually the Source Detail Text I need to amend as I've
worked out another bit of the transcription - and I use Search and
Replace to do that.
Then there is Show List for the Master Source to give you a list of
people using the source.

Curiosity question: How do other Legacy users quickly find a
Master Source for editing or selecting for a citation?____

I have always prefixed my Source List Names with the File ID – ex.
“2423 – 1920 US Census, Parks Bar Twp., Yuba Co., CA – Three Scott
Families” – which is also part of the attached media name – ex.
2423_IMG.jpg (obviously I’m a splitter, not a lumper). That makes
finding the source easy, but a list of all source names, sorted
alpha-numerically, looks “helter-skelter.” When sorted by the
text after the File ID, the source names are better organized and
visually useful in finding typos and inconsistencies in data
entry. But then it seems much harder to find particular sources
for editing or citation selection.____

I’ve suggested to the Legacy folks that a “search by File ID”
ability would be very useful (and it would solve my problem). But
until that happens I’m looking for ideas from other users.____
__ __
One caveat – I can’t use source details for “primary” source
information and attached media (ie, no lumping) as my TNG website
won’t “see” media attached to source details in a GEDCOM, just the
Detail Information and Text/Comments.____
