Does anyone know how to manage many individuals (more than 70) of the same name in order to find the one you want easily? Most do not have birth dates, only baptism or burial dates and the name list only sorts in alphabetical order of name, then in birth date order. For some I add a suffix which st

Yes, space on the website and ease of use. On websites, the same citation number is used when the source and detail cited are exactly the same. So, the first time a source is cited, that would be citation 1. Every time that the same source and detail is cited, it would also be citation 1. Sa

Ron, First of all, I assume that you are testing with a report that prints footnotes, not endnotes. Otherwise, due to a bug, you will not currently see the abbreviated subsequent citation form. You will always see the full citation form. Second, I assume that you are testing with SourceWriter
