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.
Hi Linda,
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
