Gary, I agree with Ron that you might want to have something a little more
specific than "death certificate" as your master source. If your author is
"Missouri State Board of Heath, Bureau of Vital Statistics," then what will
you use when you have a death cert. from North Carolina? I generally create
one master source for vital records by state.
Hope this helps!

Hi Gary,
I am not too clear as to what you are getting ar here. Using the Source
Clipboard sources are readily applied to all people one wishes to.
However, I do not have separate Master Sources for bmds, just one for GRO
(in the UK the government office for the publication of them). I put the
type of certificate in the detail.
I do amend some of the detail though eg. if I obtain the father's name
from an offspring's marriage certificate then I would amend the detail to
read "son's/daugh's (name) mc. I cannot really see how this process could
be simplified.

It then appears those most experienced enter details of the Document
(death certificate in the above example) in the Source Detail
(certificate number, names, dates, pages, text, file ID, etc).
All very well understood and logical.
However, my issue with the above methodology when using Legacy is the
difficulty in assigning Detail to more than one family member. Most
certificates for instance refer to multiple family members. Birth
Certificates for example refer to mother, father, and child. It would
stand to reason a Legacy module such as that used for pictures, the
Picture Center, would best serve this process when the detail of various
Sources applies to multiple individuals. A few simple clicks could
assign a birth certificate to every individual mentioned on the
certificate. The same would apply to newspaper articles (particularly
obituaries), and other Sources when more than one individual is referred
to in the Source Detail.
I am interested to hear what others have to say about this. I believe I
may be missing something very key to my sourcing process.
Thanks
Gary
