I've only have a few but TMG does have a SSDI source template. I changed it
to a generic template by adding < > to the subject, date and File#; those I
put in the citation detail.
I do have a question. My SSDI were taken from the Broderbund CDs While
updating my sources I rechecked the ones I had done and was surprised I
couldn't find my mother's on the CD. I checked Broderbund 1937-1996 and the
UFT one that I got at a later date. I swear I had seen it because I had it as
a source in her record and sure enough on an old version of FTM I found
1937-1993 SSDI and there she was. Does anyone know where Broderbund/UFT get
their data and how reliable their source is. I would have thought once
someone was on the CD they would be carried over to another CD.
