I have been using Reunion for many years now and really think over the years I have sourced all incorrectly. Especially since coming here and reading the sourcing questions.

For example when I add a marriage certificate to a family instead of marking it as a source I Flag it as Marriage Certificate. Thus when I open that family page I see that I already have their marriage certificate. I do the same with death certificates, WW I draft cards and so on. Is there an easy way to change these Flags to Sources?

I'm talking a Family File with over 80,000 people and probably close to 10,000 photographs that I have added as Flags but should have added as Sources. In the beginning I didn't understand sourcing and over the years I have dreaded the time it will take to change everything so I have continued with my very bad habits.

Any help available?

I don't know a way to change this, so I can't help you. But actually, I think since you already have them flagged, I'd leave it that way, and add the sources, too, as you get time. I've often considered adding vital records flags, and have put that on the wish list for the next version of reunion.
Though it does't really tell you much for 'source' info, it would be a quick way to determine you you still need to find vitals for.. So you might want to leave it.
