Topic - SOURCING

Keeping track of the sources of your information is vitally important.  It helps you to know where you have looked, adds credibility to your research and helps others to verify the information.

In Legacy there are two source systems that you can use when documenting your information, the Basic System and the SourceWriter system.

The Basic System uses a rudimentary and straight forward entry system but doesn't offer the expert help needed in order to automatically produce correct citations.  With this system you simply fill in an author, title, and publication facts.  From this information a standard citation is built. 

The SourceWriter is a template driven sourcing system that makes it easy for you to select the correct input screen so that you enter all the pieces needed to correctly cite any source of information in the thousands of formats that exist for them.  The information you enter is correctly and precisely formatted to match the genealogy industry standards for source citations.
