RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills
Gail, Whilst have no feeling one way or the other about Legacy accomodating a format compatible with Mills's latest output, I would hope that it will maintain the flexibility that has characterised the program. One of the strengths of Legacy is the way in which it can be used to suit different countries, cultures and individual ways of working and in my opinion it would be most regrettable if this is sacrificed on the altar of standardisation. In particular I have no wish whatsoever to have to redo all my web pages because of a change in the format of sources, or anything else for that matter.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills
Hi Ron, don't get me wrong - I'm all for flexibility! I would definitely not want that sacrificed either. As much as Ms. Mills has tried to bring a bit of standardization to sourcing, she even freely admits that it is an art as much as a science. I still grapple with sources and all of mine seem to still be different than the ones in 885 pages of her book!! My main goal, before having the perfect format, truly is to just ensure I and others can find/retrace my research steps. I also grapple with the sometimes competing needs of database efficiencies vs. formatting for possible later written publication. I'm still aiming to do both, but it's a hard road. My hopes for Legacy v7 are just things like needing to split the author name input into two fields so that a report could print first name first (for footnotes) or last name first (for bibliographies). I definitely do not want to be limited with the templates and am hopeful that Renee was right when she said we could create our own templates. I'm sure I'll be hand-crafting a few. My final thought is that I don't want to come across as a sourcing snob - a sourcing nerd maybe! - but not a snob. As long as I can follow someone's footnote to its source, I will never be the one to say the format is not good! I still feel like a total novice with all of this and I'm just striving to do a good job for my two little descendants and their future descendants.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills
I too listened to the Myrt interview this weekend and read Renee's blog - it sounds like Geoff R. is trying keeping to keep V7 very hush hush until the last minute. Of course, all this speculation builds anticipation and interest ;). This group has really inspired me to be careful and consistent in my own sourcing through Legacy, but I do look forward to what Geoff said was a more user-friendly interface for sourcing. It is hard if you are a beginner to figure out how to enter information in the program so that it will develop a logical citation. In some ways, I think writing a Works Cited entry from scratch is almost easier. While old pros might feel comfortable with their personal system, whenever I am tackling something new I tend to rely on the advice of those who have gone on before so I don't get hung up trying to reinvent the wheel. I love Dear Myrt's blog and podcasts by the way. Very informative and fun! Are there other great ones out there?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills
I sort of think that some might be missing part of my point. I made not have made it very clear in my earlier note and if so, I apologize. I'm actually asking for much *more* flexibility with source citation than we currently have. Right now, the output order, format, etc. is totally set and you cannot change it to suit your needs. The author goes in one spot, the title in another, and the publication facts in their own. There can be no blending of master source fields with citation detail fields in the output from v6. I'm asking for and hoping for much more flexibility in v7 to create whatever output order I want (Mills style or not). Although Geoff's interview highlighted the templates as a way to take out the guesswork with sources and make them standardized, I do believe the new source templates (and ability to create one's own custom template) will give this much-needed flexibility, yet not force everyone to start with a blank piece of paper if they don't want to. I do respect everyone's desire to do sources their own way and don't want to push one method over another.

I'm seeing the need to break the author field into first and last name so that the bibliography can sort by author's last name. I'm sure this is all part of migrating one's sources over to the v7 format. I just want to make sure every effort is made to pull as much from _Evidence Explained_ as possible because it is such a great resource.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills
Without giving away too much, the v7 will allow you to continue with the existing sources, or use the new templates. Like Gail mentioned, they will offer the additional flexibility that v6 currently does not have. You will have the ability to create your own templates, adjust the existing ones, etc. Personally, I can't wait to have them fully operational. For years we have had to wonder exactly what goes where to attain the desired output. In v7, you won't have to wonder.

Right now, the output order, format, etc. is totally set and you cannot change it to suit your needs. The author goes in one spot, the title in another, and the publication facts in their own. There can be no blending of master source fields with citation detail fields in the output from v6. I'm asking for and hoping for much more flexibility in v7 to create whatever output order I want (Mills style or not). Although Geoff's interview highlighted the templates as a way to take out the guesswork with sources and make them standardized, I do believe the new source templates (and ability to create one's own custom template) will give this much-needed flexibility, yet not force everyone to start with a blank piece of paper if they don't want to.

All the information on sources and bibliography creation sound very promising! I know that _Evidence Explained_ just came out this month, but I truly hope that the powers that be will make sure the v7 source template incorporates as much of this second book as possible. There is so much more information here and the source components are carefully described and laid out. Mills' first book certainly still stands on its own merit, but the new book expands to many other types of sources and does justice to all the online resources people use more often these days. Renees' post said that there will be bibliography output capability and I really look forward to this. The formatting is different between a footnote and a bibliography. While v6 will provide a master source list, it does not put the components in bibliography format, which has periods instead of commas and does not include the citation detail. I'm seeing

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills
For years we have had to wonder exactly what goes where to attain the desired output. In v7, you won't have to wonder. Geoff, thank you, thank you, thank you, and I have only been waiting for a few months. A week or so ago I asked if anyone had developed a chart showing where the various input locations actually did or did not come out. I haven't yet received a response. Perhaps this could be included in the help system? At the moment I am entering some cemetery records and with my limited knowledge of the program, I can find 13 different places where the whole or parts of this info. could go. The downside of flexibility for the inexperienced. regards Mike - Original Message From: Geoff Rasmussen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Tuesday, 28 August, 2007 8:34:33 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills Without giving away too much, the v7 will allow you to continue with the existing sources, or use the new templates.
