Totally understand! It took me months (literally) to get the courage to do just one source! Even after reading the book! I have used the book as kind of a guide but found parts of it too confusing (at least for my brain) so I have sort of ‘customized’ my own version. lol

There might be a FMT User Group on Facebook that might be of some help. I use Reunion and I follow the Reunion FB group and they are very helpful. Judy

Paul Browne-This forum hasn’t been used in a very, very long time and that is a shame and I don’t think that I can really help you except to direct you to Amazon and look for the Practical Citation book there. It’s a Kindle edition and it’s about $5. I hope this is of some help, Judy

Oh, I am liking this discussion very much! It is very relevant to where I am at with sources. I am still learning and haven’t gotten a system down pat yet but this discussion is giving me hope and inspiration.

I don’t have Bento (no longer available) but I do have Typeinator which is like Text Expander and type4me. I really like the idea of setting up a template that I just have to fill in the blanks. That is one of my goals-to be consistent with my sourcing. I started my family history long, long, long ago before the Internet so therefore I have lots of paper. And my sources are a mess!

I am wondering how you all handle emails with information…. Do you have a ‘template’ for that kind of source? I am thinking that I wouldn’t save the email, just the information within it. So how does one do that using a ‘template’ and Reunion 10?

Well, this is another discussion that I am going to clip and store in my Evernote.
