If you reread your previous post you will see that that is'nt the question you

I take it that you require 2 lists one for Cullodens with a birth date and one
for those without. In which case use Search>Find>Detailed Search

Arnold,
I have done something similar at Kinkos using Legacy Tree Draw. As
John said, you can't do "print preview" to find out how many pages of
8.5 X 11 paper it would use and then calculate the inches that way.
Kinkos has a 24 in wide roll of paper and 36", so I've always used the
24".
Cathy,
I have the latest V6 build and the search on "birth date" using "contains"
and the specific year works just fine.

You're right Drew.
I knew it worked in the beta but for some reason it didn't in the
normal version so I thought it wasn't working as it wasn't a

Tried again and there it is.
I can't have cleared a previous search.

Currently you can't search a date with "contains"

Hi Gail,
You just have to look at the database in Access to confirm that you
are correct.
The Source Citation Detail is repeated in the database each time it
is used. (tblSX)
So if you use a Census to source a Person's name, birth, occupation,
residence and the Census event itself, the detail
Hi Gail,
But I agree with you. I think it would be marvellous to just have a
specific source detail in the database once - though I think your
drop down list idea would be unworkable as some Master Sources are
used hundreds of times so how to access the specific source detail
for further use
Hi John, you're right that microfilm is what holds the paper.
However, I like to consider the microfilm of a record as a separate
source from its original. There may be subtle differences in the
readability, etc. and I like to differentiate these at the master
source level.
I would also consider
Hi Rich, I think you are mistaken, but maybe the Legacy programmers
could set us straight. I have been known to be wrong a time or two!

Let's say I have a census master source with detail for a specific
family. I attach the whole source (master plus detail) to 5 people in
that family. I sti
That is way more advanced than me :) I wish one of you girls was over here

I am a splitter. Every source is filed in my file

I would suggest for now simply putting a note in the Marriage Notes to
the effect that "Jane Doe did not change her last name after she

Sorry, Michele, but I cannot help on this as I do not know the systems and

I think Mills states that much more information is required in Sources than I

In the main information window the surname is the name that stays with that
person throughout. Any other names would be handled as an AKA regardless of
how many times an individual marries or changes names.

Ron,
Here is my thing with the Mills standard format... I want to eventually go
for my CG. From what I understand, your sourcing must pretty much go with
what Mills has advocated. Is it not the god standard among CGs? I would

I do understand the points which you make, and as you are no doubt aware I am a
confirmed lumper. You are possibly aware that I am no lover of so called
standardisation of Sources eg Mills. I guess I am also a minimalist in that I

Hmmm.. why not just directly access the database table itself (rather then the
Master Source List) and use search/replace to change it?

I have been silent...but, I have a large database with over 108,000

Hi Wynthner, in my specific case, if I split every single obit I found

(if not hundreds of thousands) of individual sources in my files!
