Eric, Have you looked at the Legacy website's examples for source citations? (They do need to be revamped a bit since the citation forms have been changed since they were created, but will give you a good idea for sourcing!) http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsSourceSamples.asp I've printed out the pages and refer to them all the time! Also, the sample file in Legacy 4 is excellent for seeing how events and source citations can be handled. Take a good look at that. It's *very* detailed and much better than the Kennedy sample file in the past versions. Also, while you're on the Legacy website, you might want to check out the Legacy User Group mailing list and subscribe to that - there's a lot of good help & ideas being tossed around on the list! http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/legacylists.asp Enjoy! You've got a top notch program!

Actually, I did join the Legacy User Group mailing list for a little while. But, I was just getting too many emails - that's one active list!!! So, I had to unsubscribe, unfortunately - don't have time to read over 100 emails a day. I know this is a wonderful program! I tested about 20 different Gen programs, before settling with Legacy as my primary one. I was using the 3.0 free version, but now that 4.0 came out, it seemed that there were enough extra gadgets that I wanted, so I decided to pay the little amount to have the Deluxe version with the book, too!
