Re: [LegacyUG] Source used by Family search
Tony, I think that this should be registered as a bug. If in Legacy you go to the Legacy Home tab you will see report a bug on the bottom right. Although I have asked for advice on this problem before, as I said, I did not get a response. I would be interested in their comments.

Ron has the right premise. I am, indeed, using the FamilySearch button in Legacy (7.5.0.219). When I get to FamilySearch, I use the copy data facility to get extra data into Legacy. This always seems to come over with a source of England Marriages... I've gone back through my sources and found an old master source England Marriages This was originally used for the Ancestry collection of the same name, but has now been overwritten by the FamilySearch source. Not at all what I wanted. Is this something I should report as a bug and, if so, to whom? It doesn't seem to be Legacy's fault, but I don't know how to contact FS?

RE: [LegacyUG] Source used by Family search
Ron I agree Ron but seeing as there is no response from Legacy Tech Support, there is no harm in checking with Familysearch. At least they will tell you whether it is a problem in their end or not.

Unless you already have Source named England Marriages, 1538-1973 I'm not sure that I see the problem. Can you not just Search for all records with that Source when you want to select those which need to be verified? You can also use the Verified field in Legacy to mark those records where the FamilySeach citation has been subsequently verified. I presume you are talking about finding records on the old FamilySearch. When I add information from a matching record on Legacy FamilySearch and select the option to create Source, the Source which is created is called newFamilySearch. If I am finding records on the old FamilySearch they could be from any one of several Collections and FamilySearch Web Site would be much too vague a Source Name for me: I have different Master Sources for each of the Collections and FamilySearch and the URL are included in the full Citation. -- Jenny M Benson Jenny, I am uncertain as to whether Tony and yourself are on the same wavelength. I suspect that Tony is using the Family Search functions from within Legacy and is downloading the result to his PC (much as we used to do with the IGI) and when he does, it is wrongly sourced. Tony, I cannot definitively answer your question as I have only had a brief look at downloading the searches myself, and have not worked out whether or not there is a bug in this, I have tried asking for further information to make sure that I am using a correct procedure, and to confirm that none of this is limited to LDS members. To date I have had no response.
