Thanks for your reply, Brian. A "global" source won't work for me because it won't be easy to position it uniformly on the person page in Ancestry.
I'm not trying to suppress sources that are uploaded to Ancestry, in fact I upload them all. But they often to not display correctly or fully. They also do not include media files that I have attached to them in Legacy (and at the TNG website). Same is true for media attached to people & events in Legacy (& TNG). That's why I want a visible link to my TNG website, where all the media and correct sources are viewable. I note there is a Web Links box on each Ancestry person page, which could work great (though it shows up at the bottom of all the sources, which can be a lot of scrolling to get to it when there are many sources for a person). But I don't know how to populate the Web Links box on the person pages of an entire family tree via a gedcom file.

When exporting click on the Autosource button to tell legacy to add the source to everyone. You can then Add the source with the disclaimer you want included. I have not tried this in tandem with the option not to include sources, which I presume you are using to suppress your sources. If you think my suggestion will work for you I suggest you try it on a small file like the Sample.fdb file that comes with Legacy.
