Try adding a child named "50 grandkids" and one named "54 GGKids", etc. I haven't tried this, but I believe it will work. Good luck!

For unknown names I put "Firstname" or "Lastname" as it applies. Works for me!

Like you I am also scanning photos in the TIF format. These files, although large, are my master copies which will be stored on an external hard drive. Eventually, I may store the master TIF files in two locations just in case Mr. Murphy shows up…

Kathleen Fox Allen replied to Don Edwards's discussion 'Source Detail Certainty' in the group Legacy Family Tree fans

In the described situation, I would assign two sources to the event (death): 1. "Personal Knowledge of [me]" with a surety level appropriate to the level of confidence that I have in my first-hand knowledge of that event (probably a…

Thanks to everyone for your input.

My real concern regarding the surety level is how it pertains to documentation for other persons reviewing my work.

So, is the surety level about the accuracy of all information in the source or is it whether it relates to the relative?

Seems to me if you have first hand knowledge of the event, there's really not anything that is much better. I think you are right. I agree with the others.

First hand knowledge ( you were there at the funeral) - I would say 100% - you know it is a fact! Just my opinion - ut I know of nothing that could be more sure. Keith

I agree with Barbara's assessment. I've added hundreds of obits to my Legacy database and have noticed numerous inaccuracies in many of them. However, first-hand knowledge allows me in most cases to sort out the good from the bad. The same…

Barbara Krecklow replied to Don Edwards's discussion 'Source Detail Certainty' in the group Legacy Family Tree fans

If the obituary agrees with your firsthand knowledge and you agree it is accurate, I would be comfortable with a surety level of 3. On the other hand if the obituary is the only knowledge you have, I would rate it lower. My mother's,…

Source Detail Certainty

When one has firsthand knowledge of an event, such as the death of a relative, and the only documentation one has is a newspaper obit, what surety level does one assign to the event? I have been using "3. Almost certain conclusion", but I am not comfortable with that. Your thoughts?

Don Edwards replied to Renee Zamora's discussion 'Using Your Camera in Genealogy'

When photographing a gravemaker, I record the latitude and longitude of the grave using a tracking GPS device. This information proved extremely useful after I mistakenly deleted photos from my old computer while installing a new computer. Finding a…
