Re: [LegacyUG] Help With Citing Sources

Here is an example of how I use Basic Sources: 1. Census a. I create an Census Event as follows: census, 20 Jun 1900, Columbia, Wapello Co, IA, USA.¹ It reads in reports as: He appeared on the census on 20 Jun 1900 in Columbia, Wapello Co, IA, USA.¹ 2. Source a. *Source List Name:*

[LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

So here's a source citation problem that I would be interested in hearing feedback about: I found an obituary for someone that provides his mother's maiden name, an important link to a DNA match that I haven't been able to obtain otherwise. The obituary is on a website for a company that calls

Re: [LegacyUG] Help With Citing Sources

I have been on the LUG email list for a number of years and the issue of how to cite sources or which template to use constantly comes up. I am fairly pedantic but when it comes to sources I agree with Geoff Rasmussen- the most important thing is, for readers to know what the source is and

Re: [LegacyUG] Help With Citing Sources

Dennis, I don't use the Legacy SourceWriter System, just the Basic Source System so my examples might be formatted differently if using the SourceWriter. There are many different methods of organizing and formatting your sources. If you plan on publishing, then there are formatting specifics

Re: [LegacyUG] Help With Citing Sources

It is a very pricey book, $76. There is a quick sheet offered by Legacy that covers a lot of the sources that are frequently cited, I think it is well under $10. I too have problems with how exactly to cite a source, it gets very confusing as to the source-detail etc. Sent from my iPad > On

Re: [LegacyUG] New features suggestion

I use queries in MS Access to preprocess (ie, move data around) the Legacy “fdb” database (in a temporary fdb file) so that Legacy can create a gedcom (using the “Legacy” option) that best displays my data in TNG. The main issue I have with the transfer of data from Legacy to TNG is with

Re: [LegacyUG] Help With Citing Sources

Dennis, Elizabeth Shown Mills' "Evidence Explained" is the standard work for source citations.  Google it and you can see examples on her website, and/or purchase the entire book.  You may be able to find prior versions on sale at ebay or amazon, which should be adequate and save some money. 

Re: [LegacyUG] Hashtags

In my opinion” Hashtags” are something I’ve used for years in Legacy although I called it “dot tags” I’ve never liked the tagging, too easy to delete and altered by mistake so I created hidden events/facts starting with a “.”. I could then add it (with notation, date and place) to a person. I

Re: [LegacyUG] Help With Citing Sources

Thanks for the suggestions. I have watched Geoff's webinar on citing sources and it’s very helpful -- as far as it goes. I think what I'm looking for is a manual that gives examples for the commonly cited sources. For example, when citing Federal census records, what is the Master source and
