Jim:
Thanks for your reference to the Genealogy Standards for Data Entry found in
Mary H. Slawson's "Definitive Guide...."
Here are some more references from Cyndi's List. Unfortunately we cannot
click on the "Links" below; since Legacy's policy of using ONLY plain text
prohibits the use of the Links we could see if we were allowed to use HTML.
However by going to Cyndi's List online, the following commentary and
"links" are highlighted, so one could go to the actual text easily.
Your friends, Jim & Earlene McIntosh
Have a great day with your best friend -- our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us! Philippians
4:13
Jesus loves us! He will not fail us nor forsake us all the days of our
lives! Joshua 1:5-9

Stephen and others,
I've been watching this thread and am surprised that nobody has mentioned
Getting It Right: The Definitive Guide to Recording Family History
Accurately (Paperback)
by Mary H. Slawson
ISBN: 157008887X
available at Amazon dot com
Here's a snippet from one of the reviews...
"... Slawson has done what no other writer seems to have done to date:
tackle the thorny issue of data entry standards once and for all. How do you
record information consistently so that you can find it later, avoid errors
and duplicate entries, and share your work? What's the right way to record
your ancestor's nicknames? How do you enter information for someone who has
died at sea? What about slave names? Or all that "other" information you've
just been ignoring or dumping into the "notes" field? There are literally
hundreds of precise guidelines and clear examples in this book for recording
data in every case imaginable, whether your ancestor was an ambassador or an
orphan. , ..."
And best of all... she uses Legacy screenshots to show you where to enter
what.
This is one of my most used reference books!
Check it out.
