Michele,
5 hours is a long time without a back-up and I can appreciate your concern, I
back up every hour or so. In case you haven't yet found it, you can customise
the tool bar by right clicking on it, you can then drag the Back-up icon onto
the top bar and it will then appear on the tool

Gene,
Yes, but the File Maintenance won't solve that problem - you need to defrag
to put things back into contiguous sectors. However that's beyond the scope
of the Legacy list and fits more into a general Windows discussion group.
So true - a reboot will cure a multitude of ailments, esp when

I want to source a cemetery survey. I am not sure what all I need to
include in the source window. Since I am a lumper :) I am thinking my
source will be Cemetery Survey and then put the rest in the details.
I have the name, email address and the date the cemetery was surveyed. Do

I think that sourcing it as a cemetery survey would actually be a case of
fairly extreme splitting. If you wanted to really lump, you could have a

cemetery listings whether found online, by actual visits, or in
Hi Michele, I have several cemetery entries from interment.net. I do
create a separate source for each cemetery I use. It just makes
searches within a cemetery easier for me. Here is the link to one
page of my source lists:
Hi Legacy Users and Support Team,
I have an idea for sourcing that would make my life a whole lot easier
if we could implement it. I'll try to explain it using an example.
Let's say you have an existing master source and you want to add
source detail to it. It would be great if you could
Gail, I really likehow yours is set up! I think I will go with this.
Thanks so much. It matches what I have for the cemeteries I have actually
been to. I have those listed by cemetery name.

Michele, I'm a lumper too, but I do source most cemeteries separately,
too, with the exception of the Veterans Administration web site on veterans
cemeteries.

*Gail,
That sounds like a real time saver. Goeff says they have spent a lot of
programming time on improving source entry. Let's see if Ver. 7 has
anything like it. Thanks.

Gail,
I gave never managed to work out why one might wish to put the name of a person
in the Source Details.
As I see it the source is attached to an event, the event is attached to an
individual, so I have the individuals name. When I wish to see a source for

Ron,
These are good examples, I think: I use birth certificates of children to
provide source for parents' residence. If I don't write the name of the
child on the source, it seems as if the birth certificate could be for any
number of people. I also use immigration records for residence. Often a

Susan,
It would seem we have a very different way of working. Naturally the
information given in your examples I include myself (with similar wording) but
in the Event Description fields for whatever the event might be.

I did exactly as you described and it worked like a charm to source everyone
that had no sources at all which is certainly better than nothing. I will
add the source to the others ny hand as I come across them. The reason I
want to do this is so that if I share my file with someone they will

You can find everyone who has no sources at all attached by
highlighting all sources in the Master Source list and clicking Show

You can then use Advanced Sourcing to

In Australia the Birth and Death certificates contain a lot of information
that is not included on English certificates. For example on Birth
