On Saturday Randy Seaver posted Saturday Night Genealogy Fun at his Genea-Musings blog. Randy's mission was as follows:
1) Have you done a good job of citing your sources in your genealogy management program or online family tree? How are you doing? How many source citations do you have, and how many people are in your tree? What is the sources to persons ratio?
2) Which master source (e.g., 1900 U.S. census, Find A Grave, specific book, etc.) do you have the most citations for? How many? How did you figure this out?
3) Tell us in your own blog post, in comments to this post, or on Facebook or Google+ in a post. Be sure to leave a comment with a link to your post on this blog post.
In Legacy I did a Source Citation Report.

| Legacy Source Citation Report screen.
It took a little bit of time going through my report...thankfully it was only 20 pages long.
I have 152 sources in my database and 2,913 individuals in my database. [Some do not have sources but I am working on this right now.]
My top three are Find A Grave with 197 individuals, a Descendant Chart for Johannes Siegfried from a cousin with 83 individuals, and The Argus [Newspaper from Benton, Pennsylvania] with 57 individuals.
I do not care for how the report looks. I wish there was an option to put it in either alphabetical order or in numerical order by how many individuals you have for the source.
Cleaning up my citations is an ongoing project that I have been working on for a few weeks now. I am no where near being done but I am finding where I am missing information and sources so I am working on cleaning this all up. [I figured I better do it now before this database gets any larger.]
