Nick, There are about equal complaints about repeated and "too many" sources as there are about "too few" report sources in all of the genealogy software mailing lists. The only satisfactory method is to check the look of all reports and wall charts *during* data entry and decide how many sources you really need. Sometimes the "most important" source is listed after several guesses or estimates for the date or location of the same event.
Legacy 5 allowed "custom" sources lost in GEDCOM transfers to non-Legacy software so that was another issue for customers who found they were unable to use the much larger Legacy 6 program file. Some former Legacy list participants are trying to go from multiple child-mother and and child-father relationships with sources to a program limited to child-marriage relationships. Cost of physical printouts or space required for a web site should be considered before "too many" sources are repeated. Legacy file owners will not want to pay for a web site large enough to include all sources for all names, and family members will not want to pay for printed books that are half or two-thirds endnotes with many repeats. A complex database with a source for every variation of every event detail is a different family project than a database planned for *unedited* reports saved as PDF with all useful-size pictures. A Legacy file planned for the Narrative report requires different choices than a file planned for the Descendant report. Legacy's short locations are not used by non-Legacy applications, etc. One of the Legacy 3 messages on this list about mid-2000 was about the time a user spent removing repeated locations and excess blank lines from a book report opened in a word processor. "Single space children" option still leaves double-spaced (listed) events for each child in a descendant book report. My current problem is with unidentified spouse parents in a county full of neighbor and cousin marriages. Ancestry.ca subscription has a partial marriage index for Ontario but not the images of marriage registrations which had space for names of parents of each spouse. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- > When you do that all the source citations are removed > including those related to the individual.
