RE: [LegacyUG] Sources for narratives in notes
Another thouught is to paragraph them with Source XXX says for each paragraph. Someday maybe Legacy will enable associating individual note facts/stories with sources, but until them we need to do it manually within the Notes fields. Same is true for Events, Legacy cannot separate which fact (date/place etc) is sourced by which source unless we put something in the even note field to do it.

But if you instead create a timeline with each of the source items as an Event, they should come out cleaner and in your order. This way each person in the same event can be handled the same. Just a suggestion. Good luck in any case. Rich in LA CA --- Diane Murach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to write a biographical narrative for each ancestor in Notes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources for narratives in notes
Diane, I use the MLA style of citing in-text sources. It's easy and will let the reader know which source goes with each part of your narrative. Here's a web page that gives examples: http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/research/mlaparen.html Debbie On 5/5/07, Diane Murach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to write a biographical narrative for each ancestor in Notes.
