[LegacyUG] SourceWriter output question
On some of the SourceWriter templates (for example the Family Group Sheet) the address is displayed as [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE,] in formatting the output for Footnote/Endnotes and Bibliography. What controls this display, and where is it located? I have searched, and searched and can't find it.

Re: [LegacyUG] source template for obituary collection?
Hi Dede, The SW template I use for the "United States Obituary Collection" at Ancestry.com is "Periodicals > Newspapers > Online database" Dan - Original Message - From: Dede Holden To: Legacy User Group Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 6:41 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] source template for obituary collection?

RE: [LegacyUG] Converting Basic Sources to the SourceWriter
Thanks Richard for the instructions on converting sources with Access. And thanks to all other users that offered their helpful support. Us newbies need all the help we can get. Maybe someday (soon I hope)I will be able to return the assistance and help others in this User Group.

RE: [LegacyUG] More than 2 authors
Ray: One option would be to use the template Book > Book, authored > Author known > Basic format. In the field for the author's last name, just list the surnames of all three authors: Elliott, Walker, Stratford-Devai. Leave the other name fields blank. That will give you a reasonably thorough citation and equal credit to all three without clobbering up the bibliography.

RE: [LegacyUG] source template for obituary collection?
For any obituary I use the newspaper template for the source regardless of where it was found. For those found on Ancestry, I merely add Ancestry as the repository. And if I were to see a newspaper at a library, then the library would be linked as the repository. For me, Ancestry.com is merely a repository and not a source. While Ancestry does include source information on all their databases, I just use their information in completing my source citation in Legacy.

Dede Holden wrote If anyone has used the "United States Obituary Collection" on Ancestry, I'd like to know which Source Template you used. I haven't actually used that Obit collection, but I have used another online collection. At first I couldn't find a template that seemed obviously designed for the purpose, but I ended up using Cemetery records>Grave markers, plaques, tombstones, monumental inscriptions>online images which works quite adequately for me. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Sources
Thank you, Janis, and everyone who took time to reply. I very much appreciate your kind assistance. Tom From: Janis L Gilmore To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wed, October 14, 2009 5:42:12 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Sources Tom, I understand the question. If you have the document, why cite it? Answer. Even if you have the document, you might sometime need to know where it came from. You may see genealogy as a hobby, and don’t feel worried about professional standards – but you might want to be aware that the work that you are doing now, while it may be quite sound, cannot be considered lasting if it is not properly sourced. Your citations protect your long hours of work. I suggest that you invest in a guide to genealogical source citations. The most widely accepted authority is Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills. Good luck to you.

Re: [LegacyUG] More than 2 authors
Yes, in the block for the 2nd authors LAST name do this... Anderson, Margaret Davis (Anderson being the last name of the 2nd author and Margaret Davis being the name of the 3rd author). It will print like this... Entrekin, Marybeth, Catherine Anderson, Margaret Davis (the first author is always listed last name first but the subsequent authors are first then last) michele - Original Message - From: "W.

If you use the 2 Authors template and in the 2nd Author Surname field you enter "Bloggs and Jane Doe" (with the other fields filled in normally) your Footnote/Endnote citation will correctly read "Joe Blow and Bill Bloggs and Jane Doe" and your Subsequent Citation will read "Blow and Bloggs and Jane Doe" which might be acceptable to you, but the Bibliography comes out a bit of a mess, which is probably a no-no if you print the Bibliography. The other alternative is simply to enter the first 2 authors in the usual way, then copy and paste the result into the Override fields and simply add the name of the third author in the correct format. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
