Leonard, Am I correct in thinking that FTM16 has a template system for its sources similar to Legacy’s Source Writer? If so the problem is that a GEDCOM does not recognise the layout – it is the same with the Legacy version. I suspect that the best you can hope for is some sort of Basic

Paul and Ron, FTM v16 uses a straight forward two screen templet similar to Legacy's basic source approach. V16 was discontinued in 2008 when Ancestry tried to invent the wheel, but there is little difference between the two programs when selecting an existing source or adding/creating a new

Hi again, Trying to understand exactly what the import has done. Is your Master Source in Legacy just -- Census, 1900 CT? And, is this consistent with the FTM equivalent of Master Source, or is your FTM master source at a lower level e.g. including county, township, district? Is there

Of course, for those of us who dabble in the medieval, this runs right into the question of the so-called by- names - the infamous of Hereford, of Gloucester etc. They aren't true surnames - nor are they true locative names. In many cases they only indicate where a family's seat of power was at
