I am converting from Family Tree Maker to Legacy but confused with the way Legacy handles sources. I understand that a Master Source may be used several times with different citations, but how do multiple events use the same source? I have no trouble assigning a source to a new event but there mu

Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not

2008-07-08 Thread Chick Lewis
If you are undecided as to whether to lump or split sources, I suggest splitting them. If you change your mind later, it is fairly easy to combine split sources into one, but difficult to separate lumped sources. On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 5:47 AM, Janis Gilmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cathy, >

[LegacyUG] Master Source Type

2008-07-02 Thread Chick Lewis
I am a recent convert from FTM to Legacy and trying to clean-up my sources. I don't understand how or why to use the Source Type. If I have a master source of Census 1900 New York and cite the county, page number etc for details, they why do I need to enter census as the type? It seems redundant.

So what is the verdict? Is it a bug or not? Seems to me that even if my uncle is calculated as the husband of my aunt, he is still my uncle and should be listed as such. And I should be calculated as his nephew as well as my aunt's nephew or at least as the nephew of my aunt's husband. My wife's
