Good morning,
Ancestry has images of the US National Cemetery Interment Control Forms.
I tend to use Source Writer for my sourcing, but I'm not averse to using the
Basic version. Any suggestions as to how best to record this source
information? It's kind of an awkward record.
Thanks.
Good morning,
I'm just looking for input. How do you handle the US (or any other) census as
a master source? It asks you to break it down by locality, state and county.
If you are dealing with diverse areas of the country, how do you differentiate
the carious localities.
Basically I'm
Here's a thought as a stop gap. Can you mark both genders as unknown and add
the actual gender in notes? Not ideal, but it should solve the problem in the
short run.
My two cents for what they're worth...

It looks like the Google Fusion Tables option might work, which leaves the
question of how to get the data onto a table. Here's the first glimmer of an
idea. Please let me know what you think of my thought process.
Can I run a descendant outline, save it as an RTF file, and then import that
locations on a map, but can I
save those maps, or build on them, or will I need to go to an outside
program? Google Maps might have the capabilities I am looking for, but it
is not necessarily the most user friendly interface.
Thank you,

Can you access Legacy from the start menu? If so, click on All Programs,
scroll to Legacy, right click on the Legacy entry and then send to Desktop.
That should give you the icon back.

I have a related question to using SourceWriter for US Census data. If I use
the template as written, how do I differentiate between the source for San
Bernardino, California and the one for Renssalear, New York? Just curious as
to what others do.
My personal solution at this time is to name

I have a weird question. I have a friend building me a Legacy file of names

descendancy research on those families for a historic

Thanks for the responses. I'm in Las Vegas. I didn't want to presume where
the videos were concerned - it can get dicey and feelings can get hurt.
I'll look at it more closely.

When you input the couple, when the time comes to input the date, in the upper

Check that and it will mark the marriage area accordingly.
Hope this helps.

Okay, I am officially curious. I've been doing this for 30 years and this is a
new one. Why put the children with no birthdays first?
Just asking.

Good afternoon, all,
Here's a question I haven't been able to find addressed in the archives, so I
throw it out there for your ideas.
