Carol - And after you have used specific sources and added them to all tags
as appropriate, you can make them inactive so that the list of sources on
your MSL only reflects the active ones. If you need to see the full list,
click on the More button when you have the MSL open and you can see both
active and inactive.

it "birth certificate-Colleen" instead? Do I then end up with a master
source list filled with "birth certificate-Colleen O'Neill", "birth
certificate-Bernard O'Neill" etc? Is this appropriate or desirable?

Personally, I prefer to enter each birth certificate, death certificate,
marriage certificate, etc. as a separate source. I have entries like:

Birth Cert (John, Doe)
Death Cert (Doe, John)

Usually more than one piece of information in my database uses that source,
so I prefer not to have to retype the information in the CD each time. I
know I can copy and paste, but I prefer not to. That way I also can see at
a glance in my Source List who I have certificates for. I do the same with
Obituaries:

Obit (Doe, John)

It's all personal preference.

Happy hunting,
Darrel
