Is there a way to have more than 1 repository for a source?

-
I have a few books in my personal library that I first used in a public library, plus, of course, numerous BMD certs whose original repositories are in some state bureau but which I also want to note that I have copies of in my personal papers. TIA.

    Cherie Brumfield You can only have one repository for your sources.  What I would do is put the main repository and then make a note in the source detail text/comments tab or the notes tab within the repository that you also have a copy of the death certificate, book etc.

    There is a section in Legacy under the details where you can note you have a paper copy.  That way when that source detail is used to source a fact, it will show you have a paper copy.

    another option (but perhaps a bit redundant) is to create a repository for all your paper documents and then duplicate the master source and details

    Another option is to attach the copy to the source media. Then it's obvious you have a copy.

    Thank you all very much, I appreciate the help.  Amazing how single-minded a person can be - in TMG you can enter as many repositories as you want for a single source and I was just so focused on that it never occurred to me to look "outside my box"!  I suspect my best bet is to add my "Personal Ownership of a Copy" in the source detail text/comments tab.  Sigh, more work...!!!  Thanks, everyone, again.
