On the contrary, I find PAF5 sources very easy to use. They can be edited at any time. The main entry can be copied and used over many times, exchanging just the personal information about the ancestor. I found Elizabeth Shown Mills' book "Evidence : Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian." It is quite reasonable in price and is available in several places. I like it because it teaches how to construct a citation in bibliographic form, which I like. As an example, censuses are entered: Iowa. Decatur County. 1860 US census, population schedule. If you edit the main citation, it changes for all of those involved. You can also find out who you have listed under that particular citation which also can be a great help. I love it. The Master Genealogist is too complicated for me. In fact, I had a friend who is a computer programmer advise me never to get iinvolved with it because I would debate with myself with myself too much for en tries and their value. I'm very satisfied with PAF5.
