Re: [LegacyUG] Sources - Geoff's Method
I agree with you in general, but I used this book as a (kind of) index to the various Norwegian census records. Then I combine/transcribe the census with the book and also the films of BMD. Since most (if not all) records support/verify each other I get a reliable database. I actually now have the similar books (photocopied)for about ten parishes. These books are basicly the 'skeleton' to hang my BMD facts onto.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources - Geoff's Method
Dean: In an ideal world the family history book would cite (or hint at) original sources that you could verify for yourself and cite. Since this is unfortunately not the usual case, I use the book as a Master Source and break out abstracts or extracts as separate source details. You might include the names, dates, and locations for a married couple and a list of their children as one source detail, and then the same type of information for one or more of their children and grandchildren as separate details. Typically each of these individual citations would include content from only 1-2 pages of the book and would be condensed down into manageable chunks. With each citation I would include any hints as to the origin of the data, such as “From a private letter to (the author of the book),” or “Family tradition says . . .” You should be very wary of copying large sections of text verbatim from books under copyright, and I dislike obvious parroting of statements unless it is clearly shown as a quote. I’m very tired of reading in modern trees, for example, that Michael Pierce (1615-1676) *was a captain of great bravery,* as if this was the compiler’s original thought, when the phrase actually comes from much earlier work that is rarely credited. Legacy’s Master Source/Source Clipboard arrangement makes all of this fairly quick and easy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sources - Geoff's Method
Paula, Is the book giving you information about an event that would belong in the person's timeline? If, for example, it told where the person lived in 1905, I would add a residence event, add the date, and add the transcription of the sentence/phrase/paragraph from the book to the event notes. This builds the person's timeline. Now, you would need to cite the book as the event's source, so yes, I'd simply copy/paste the transcription from the event notes into the source detail text. Takes a little extra effort at first, but in the long run you'll be glad it's in both places. However...since Legacy is so flexible, there are probably lots of ways to accomplish what you want it to. From my experience, this method provides the most flexibility and ease-of-analysis.
