Thanks so much, Robert! I think I missed the part
about there being software. I think I will go ahead
and order the trial version, and the Handybook. I
much prefer to have a book, on my desk, then to search
for the county information on the Internet. :)

Pat,
I'm trying not to split hairs on this but surely where the info was found is
the repository and not the source. The source being the name of the original
publication.

Hi Ron,
That's true - but your family must have been better than mine if you

only clues are their content and where they were found. One of my

To my way of thinking, the clippings that were glued in the Bible should not
be sourced without reference to the Bible - which was where you found them,

HA-HA yes, sometimes I do stress over the little things. :-)
The screen doesn't bother me, it just looked a little weird, and I wondered

My name is Diane and I just started using Legacy 6, the
standard (free) edition, for now. Till 7 comes out.
Having used PAF, I decided to try other programs for
comparison and I do like Legacy much more.
And I hope to stick with it if only I could master how to

My best advice on sources is to download the trial version of The
Master Genealogist v6.12 and make copies of their source templates.
I've found them a wonderful guide to organizing sources. I just copied

I looked up Tok in Wikipedia and got this:
Tok is a census-designated place (CDP) in Southeast Fairbanks Census
Area, Alaska, United States.
CA = Census Area

had many hits.)

I, too, began using Legacy about 7 or 8 months ago.
I, like you, was totally baffled by the source documentation of Legacy,
especially how to decide what was a Master Source.
I have seen so many different ideas on what to do it was confusing.
I decided the most important thing to do was

Nope you are missing anything. Look at it this way: With GEO, you can't

Also, suppose I receive a family file from you, with some locations not
If it's not cost-prohibitive, I would purchase new view binders - the ones

Many thanks Susan, really appreciate the help.Tom

Hi Diane
I won't retype all the variations and reasons people lump or split.
Whichever is chosen should suit your own material and possible needs
in future research. Lumpers use fewer master sources and add more
information in the details box, splitters use many more master sources
for names,
Perhaps the ISO standards need to be changed. :-)
