[LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Wednesday - A Genealogist's Guide to Heraldry by Shannon Combs-Bennett

[Geoff Rasmussen]

Heraldry invokes images of noble ancestors from long ago, dashing knights
and splendor but what is it really? In this presentation learn the basics
of heraldry, its historical uses, who can display heraldic arms (as well as
why many genealogists shouldn’t) and how it can help your research. Focus
will be on English heraldry with other nationalities used for comparison.

Steve,
That is not entirely true, SourceWriter can create a master source for 
emails as 1. Grouped by correspondent or  2. by each email.  I use 
sourcewriter for emails grouped by correspondent. You might want to take a 
look at: 7-Other records>E-mail>Grouped by correspondent.


I create a master source for the correspondent with their info then I use 
the email for the source detail.

I don't use Sourcewriter for correspondence, because I find it too
cumbersome. It tends to create a separate master source for each letter or
e-mail, and that just creates digital clutter.

I have found it most helpful to use one event per source. If I have 2
sources that support a single event (i.e. birthdate) then I have to
attach 2 sources to the event. I have to enter 2 transcripts of the data
in the Event Notes. When I go back to that event, there is no way for me
to determine which source goes to which transcript.


As the transcript is part of the Source, I include it in the Source 
Detail, so there is no question of not knowing which Source it goes with.


I do sometimes *also* (not instead) include the transcript in Event 
Notes.  One example of when I'd do this is when the Source was a 
newspaper article, perhaps an Obituary or Funeral Report.  In many cases 
I will only summarise the transcript in the Event Notes; an example of 
this is with a Will.

Good Afternoon,
The discussion on what happens to the three 'Note' sections has
encouraged me to dig deeper into finding exactly what I have put in the
Notes and where the info should really be.

Some of the Notes fall into the 'Research' Category and I have a handle
on what to do with those.
What bothers me right now and something I would like input on is the
info I have that tells me where I got information via email lists, and
direct communication with various cousins, etc.

Back in 1999 when Mail Lists were in vogue, a lot of us shared
information via them and also personal communication. Sharing sets of
files as well as gedcoms.

But, those bits and pieces wound up in General Notes because I had no
place else to put them. The info is, obviously, scattered among my
people. So, how do I preserve the original source of email addy and date
along with a brief explanation of what was sent?

If I create a general event such as 'Electronic Source' or 'Email
Communication' or something similar, will anyone know what it is 50
years from now? What about the date when I actually got the information?
For instance:
Abraham Adsit,
DOB: 3 Mar 1850, Conneaut, Crawford, PA
DOD: 9 Nov 1936, Pennsylvania

An event for the origin of the data on him and his ancestors was shared:
Abram Adsit, and ancestors courtesy of
Patricia M. Edgett - pedgett...@aol.com
13 Sep 1999
Pennsylvania
Conneaut, Crawford, PA

Thoughts?


You seem to be confusing Events with Sources.  If you have a letter or 
e-mail from someone, or you communicate via a mailing list, you may 
receive information about various different Events or Facts.  The 
e-mail, letter, message board or whatever is the Source.  If you use 
SourceWriter, there are templates for all these different types of 
Source which make it very easy to keep track and be consistent.


So you enter Abraham Adsit's date/place of birth and his date/place of 
death in the relevant fields and then you attach the Source which 
details who provided the information, when and how you received it and, 
if you wish, a full transcript of the original message and perhaps 
information about the reliability.  When I get information from someone 
in a letter or e-mail, for example, I add to the Source Comments 
information about the sender ("Fanny Adams is a direct descendant of Joe 
Bloggs, my 4th Gt Grandfather's brother".)

Re: [LegacyUG] Research / General Notes

[Martha Graham]

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your thoughts.
I guess I did not make clear my concerns.
I know what and how to put information into events, what I did not know 
was how to use email notes, etc as sources.


Generally, I do not use the Source writer because it is just too much 
work. And I want the source of the data right under the information so 
there can never be any doubt where it came from - attaching stuff might 
get lost if I ever exit Legacy.


Appreciate you taking time to write.

Martha

Re: [LegacyUG] Report Formats

[smm]

I don't use genealogy software to write reports...it is just too boring. 
That way I don't have to worry about the software's shortcomings, only 
my own.
