Yes, one document = 1 source, if you consider that I put all the minor
children under the Head of Household entry. I then number the document (in
legacy it's in the detail screen, under the File ID field), enter it in CLOOZ,
put it in an acid free sleeve and file it in a 3 ring binder. If I need to
make a copy of the paper it's noted in the citation which I can or can not
list.
An example:
Template: family entry; p , lines , Enumeration District , [city],
County, [state], Population of Census; (National Archives Microfilm
Publication
T623, roll ); Twelfth Census of the United States, 1900; Records of the
Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29; National Archives-Washington, D.C.
Template for Ancestry: family entry; p , lines , Enumeration District ,
[city], County, [state] Population of Census; (National Archives Microfilm
Publication T623, roll ); Twelfth Census of the United States, 1900;
Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29; National
Archives-Washington, D.C. Digital images, Ancestry.com,
http://www.ancestry.com: [date].
Specific source entry: George E. Varrelmann family entry 1900 U.S. Census,
Population Schedule Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY; 178 Amity St, Volume 64,
Enumeration District 53, Supervisor's District , sheet 11, lines 72-80,
dwelling , family Record Group 29: Records of the Bureau of the Census,
Microfilm
publication T623, Roll 1044 (National Archives, Washington, DC)
My original source follows the NARA format.

Marie,
Can you give us more details of your sourcing approach? It sounds like
you are a splitter – one document = one source. Is that correct?

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List
Having started using Legacy loooong before they had a source maker, I
created my own templates. All the sources are entered under the name of the
person. If I'm using, say the 1860 census as a source, I just pull up the
template for the organization that digitized it for online retrieval, add my
specifics, and save it as a new source.

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
fi nding 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.____
