I need some of your thoughts on how to cite sources.
The source is a familysearch.org index for Schifferstadt, Pfalz, Bavaria births
and baptisms for at least 20 people in the same family. Each name has a
different address where the information can be found. How do I cite the source
and how d
Thanks, Mike
I now get the picture of how the system is intended to be used. I have
to say that although I have frequently come across Bishop's transcripts,
I have never come across an Archdeacon's Transcript!
All the best

Many thanks for this. What you describe is what I've been doing up to

say, they could easily be added.

You do not have to create a marriage event. There are two ways to link a
source to the marriage:
1. click on the sources Icon beside the marriage information to open the
list of marriage sources

Hi Joan. Others have already mentioned about the difference between the

Thanks,
Joan,
You can't create a template for your sources, per se. What you have to do is
create a Master Source (such as the name of a book, or the state/country that
issued the birth certificate) and then add Source Details (such as the page
number of the book, or the birth certificate number). Mo
Thanks, Mike. I realise that a master source isn't a template - I'd
just like to create a template so that I can be consistent & save time
filling in details. I've actually now filled in all my birth
certificates - generically as a master source called 'Birth Certificate'
under Event 'Birth', but

Many thanks for this, but two points;
How do I create a template? The only way I seem to be able to do this
is to name a master source then copy & paste the template details from a
saved Notepad file. This is pretty clumsy!
1. New master source: Birth certificate
2. Copy from Notepad:

I'm a bit confused by your question, but I hope one of these answers will be
responsive:
(1) An unspecified "event" (not source) is built in to Legacy for every
person. As far as I know, you can't change it. What you can do, however, is
ignore it.

Hi!
How can you change the name of a source from 'Unspecified'?
I have set up a new master source as a template for the information
contained on a standard birth certificate.
