Hi Winifred, I'm glad you noticed this because it seems I have inadvertently
led you (and possibly others) astray! I checked back at my lists to see
exactly how I have my Personal Correspondence Master Source listed. I found
that I don't have any repository listed. The details of the parties are
totally contained only in the citation detail.
However, when I cite a prayer card, or a family Bible, or a photo of a
tombstone given to me by a relative, I list the Repository as "Personal:
Jane Doe." There, I put in an address or at least a city and state.
It will probably make more sense if you go to my web site at
www.roots2buds.net and check out both Sources and Repositories. These are
my complete lists! You can see what they are linked to and how they are
formatted. I caution you, though, that I had web publishing in mind when I
defined these. If/when I publish for a journal, where everything is less
standardized and more customized, my sources will probably look a bit
different. Of course, in that case I will be focusing on fewer ancestors at
one time.
Sorry for misstating my methodology! I am copying this to the LUG in case
others are pondering this too.
Again, I am not claiming my way is by any means "the best way," just that it
works for me. Happy sourcing!!

Gail:
Your emails on sourcing has been most interesting and informative, but
I have one question concerning Personal Correspondence. You say that in
the
Master Source you put Personal Correspondence in the Source Name List and
the title. Nothing else. All the other information you enter in Source
Detail for various contacts you make with various persons. Then you have
one Master Source and an abundance of contacts in Source Details so there
aren't too many Master Sources.
But you put each contacts address in the Repository.
How do you do that if you put nothing in the Master Source, but the words
Personal Correspondence? Their
is no Repository in Source Detail unless they have added it to Legacy 6.
I am using Legacy 5 which could be my reason for not understanding.I think
you
have excellent ideas, but I do not unerstand how this can work. Please
clarify this issue for me.
I will much appreciate more information so I can have abetter
understanding
of your method. Thank you. Winifred
