Adding information from correspondence.
I received some information from a 5th cousin how do I add her address and information to correspondence?
We started out as a Google+ Community - it is closing down so we have migrated here to Blogger. This will be the place for 6+ years worth of posts and comments (an archive of sorts) as well as the place to dish up current questions, comments, and tips about our genealogy software of choice, Legacy Family Tree.
It is early for me (only one cup of coffee so far) - what do you mean? Is this person in your Legacy program? If you click on the individual screen the house icon is for residence and notes - you add this information there and it shows up under the master list addresses - mailing.
ReplyDeleteIf your question is something else, please provide some additional information, and we will try again. Thanks
I wonder if Pamela means using " correspondence from a 5th cousin" as a source ?
ReplyDeletethanks that makes much more sense - what would you do Magda N? I use correspondence and the person's name (in notes you could state their relationship). Thoughts? Or am I still off base today?
ReplyDeleteThere are choices for the title of your source . TITLE : Personal Correspondence (type) or Family Records (type) or Nagy Family Records ( surname ) or Nagy, Joseph Personal Correspondence ( surname ) AUTHOR : Magda N., Joseph Nagy. In the COMMENTS or SOURCE TEXT : Nagy Family memories, Joseph Nagy , to Magda N., New York 2009 . "Grandma Louisa is buried in Willow Cemetery......" . REPOSITORY : The address or email of the correspondent.
ReplyDeleteAnother option for REPOSITORY is that the correspondent sender may be deceased so I have many correspondences under PRIVATE ARCHIVE OF MAGDA NAGY.
ReplyDeleteI have dozens of Master Sources named Email: [person's name]. All the email is printed as PDF and stitched together for each person. If I receive information some other way, most likely by phone, I have another Master Source for each person named Individual: [person's name] and there's no record of it.
ReplyDeleteShe send me some information she found and I want to copy the information she send and her address and Email so i have her address in my database,until I can prove the information is correct because this one person I have found tree's that list 3 different sets of parents for this person
ReplyDeletealso how would you add these alternate parents until you prove the correct ones
