No other special tricks.
I sometimes write alternates in parenthesis: George R. /Blough (Blauch)/
But I do not think there is any standard.

Why would you not want to do this?
If I get data from others I ALWAYS want to know their sources even if it
is something like "My mother" otherwise such data is at best a "myth".
With the example given it may well still be a myth ;-).

Any tips on how to handle name differences.
The one I am working is BLOUGH vs. BLAUCH.
The surviving name appears to be BLOUGH, so I am putting the full name as an
alternate. Thus
name: George R. /BLOUGH/
alt: George R. /BLAUCH/
I am doing this only for the generation where the change appears to have
occurred, then carrying it back, but not forward.
Any tricks on how to insert all these ALT's other than the copy feature?

Just another thought:
If you have an alternate name you can also input: George R. /Blough ook
Blauch/.
The benefit is that both names (Blough and Blauch) show up seperately in the
name search window. This is handy if the alternate name is quite different.
The draw-back is that also the name 'ook' shows up in the name search
window and i do not know what it does to the gedcom standard. You can even
use multiple name/ook's combinations!
I use the word 'ook' because it is Dutch for 'also' and i do not know

Hi Ira, Mike
My source references are mostly to a personal archive and do not mean
anything to anybody else. This is the main reason for deleting the sources.
I like your idea about first making a copy of the file and then remove (with
the source tool) all the sources i do not want to export. (Saves me to make
an extra gedcom ex- and import. And copying the origan file via
backup/restore goes faster.)
Still i appreciate it that Ira is putting this function on the wishlist.
Thanks for the help.
Regards.

I have noticed that some people use "Of Youngstown, OH" or "Of London,
England" instead of "Youngstown, OH" or "London, England." It appears that
these have the same meaning, but obviously the sort in the Place Name
Editor does not work.
I also often see. ", , , OH" instead of "OH" indicating missing City,
Twp., Co., entries. Is there an advantage to this or a GEDCOM convention
that works off these commas?

I'm just beginning on my quest to discover my family's history and have just
installed Cumberland Family Tree. I entered some basic information, including
a marriage, divorce, and other marriage. When I run the reports, the divorce

When preceding a place name like "of Youngstown, Ohio" it means the person
lived in that area at one time in their life, but it does not necessarily
mean they were born there, as this is normally placed in a birth place
field.
The extra commas are a product of other programs (PAF usually) - but I don't
care for them and if I ever copy info from the web into my database I edit
out all the commas and spell states out all the way. I try to keep my data
looking clean. I even lower case the "Of" to "of" as I th

Ron,
In a dutch relations family record circa 1986 have seen the + used as a
crucifix as in death, * was used as birth and 00 used as married. 0/0 was
used to indicate number of children. Hope this helps.
