Re: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
OT I know, but it used to be quite the thing once upon a time to have death pictures. But yes, I agree a gruesome thought. I use them as Source Detail pictures as well.

Re: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
I think the term death picture is a bit misleading, it is really an after death picture. Certainly it would be gruesome to take pictures of the actual death event (who wants to see the mangled body at a car wreck). But I can understand families in the past wanting a final picture of their loved one, since photographs were often expensive or required going to a studio and were therefore taken infrequently during a person's life. We should also remember that things that are gruesome to us did not necessarily have the same effect on people who lived in a time when death was a much more frequent and personal experience. Death often happened at home, not in a hospital (where the body gets attended to by strangers not family members). People had large families because it was common for children to die and their aged parents often lived with them, so they saw death regularly.

RE: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
I agree with Gary that the death photo's were not nearly as gruesome as one would expect. They can be somewhat of a celebration. I have just such a photo at http://www.tell-my-mom.com/_ancestry/pictures/vanzeelandmartindeathphoto.jpg and you'll see that it's much more about the flowers etc at the wake. They even went so far as to have this photo colorized with oil paints (the only way to get color in this time period). I am happy that Legacy includes the space to include photos of this type. But I will also admit for most, I have put headstones or death certificate photos in this space. I hope that you'll see that a death photo is not as bad as some would think.

RE: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
Gary, I kind of giggled at this because I have a picture from the Goshen News in 1956 of my grandfather under a sheet in the street after he was hit by a train! So I suppose you could consider that a death picture Plus there are always pictures of mangled cars, trains, planes in the paper which people were in when they died - that could be a death picture also I suppose.

Re: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
I do have one picture of a cousin in a casket and she looks quite peaceful. What I meant by 'gruesome' was contemplating the possibility in this media-mad society of people's deaths being photographed or video-ed on a regular basis (where possible).

RE: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
Ronald, What sort of a template, for a source for deaths? I just use all certificates as sources and attach them as pictures. In the UK they are Crown Copyright so cannot be published in any event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
You apply the Master Source for whatever pieces of information you're using it for (birth, death, parent's name, cause of death, burial location - they're usually quite the treasure-trove.) It sounds like you've gone at it backwards. Usually you enter the information, then click on the Sources icon and either Cite a Master Source or Add a new one. Since you've already created the Master Source, go back to the person and enter some of the information from the death certificate, then Cite the Master Source for the information you enter. It's all pretty clear with big buttons. Link the picture of it into Source Detail as further proof. It sounds like you're trying to make the Death Certificate itself into an Event. I think what we're telling you is don't. Use it as a Source of information. JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www3.telus.net/Jgen/jlog.html Ronald E Howell wrote: I obviously did not explain myself fully. Using Master Sources and the SourceWriter, I have created the 'template'. In the following order: Death Records, Death Certificates, All Countries except.., Created at local/county level, Original microfilm/microfiche. Then I go to step 02 to enter other information. I was using the scanned copy of the death certificates, as I said, as a death picture (realizing all along that this was not effective). Since upgrading to V7, I would like to be able to use the above outlined feature. Now my questions are: Where do I use this Master Source? Should I create an event for 'Death Certificates'? Or just forget about using them except as a 'Death Picture' (gruesome sounding or not). Also, how do you create Source Detail without a Master Source? I hope all this makes sense. Just Learning.
