In reality the only time "correctness" comes into the source questions
is if one is doing a work for a particular publication that has a

Mike,
I am learning so much from this list on sources. Can you tell me how to
select multiple sources and derive a list from them?
Simple! From the Master Source List, select your set of Master Sources.
You use the Ctrl key to select multiple entries and the Shift key to
urces and derive a list from them?
Thanks,

I occasionally have a Master Source where it is appropriate to put
something in the Master Source Text. For example, that's where I
currently have transcriptions of certificates. I have other things

Hi Cathy,
I am new to Legacy but not to genealogy. I guess I
should first admit that I am a splitter - although I
didn't realize that until I started reading this list.
I don't understand your arguement that splitting is
ignoring "the structure of having Master Sources and
Source Details". Sin
sources and
source detail as there are genealogists or family historians! Everyone has a
little twist.

IMHO, it used to be advantageous in the days of $L$L$L
for hard drive space to be compact.(I bought 10G on
