Name sources need to be checked in _test_ file transfers if Legacy users plan to share GEDCOMs with researchers who use other genealogy programs. For example, PAF 5 allows one name without a source.

Also check to see if multiple names will print on wall charts. My personal preference is to enter one "report" name in the main name field and explain all other name variations in the first sentence of individual notes.

Other researchers enter the official or birth name in the main name field and have to deal with reports for individuals who were called by a middle name, title or nickname. -- Elizabeth

I can create any given individual three separate sources such as:
- "First Christian Name (RIN#) - Birth Certificate" - Details ....
- "Second Christian Name (RIN#) - Census" - Details ....
- "Third or more Christian Names (RIN#) - " - Details ...
