Hi Beth,
If you swap the Alt name with the Main Name, (see button on the Alt
name screen) the source citations should go with the names.
If you want the 1900 Census as source to both the Main Name and the
Alt Name, then open the Assigned Sources (click the books icon on
Family View), highlight the source and use the Copy to Source
Clipboard button to copy it back to the Source Clipboard and then
attach it to the other name.

Dear list,
I am enjoying the use of the source clipboard for one source and
citation and the event copy function. Legacy is the best for
entering your source data only once and copying for future entries.
However, I discovered today another function that would be useful,
unless I have missed something. I am entering data in a research
file as I discover new data. As an example, from the 1900 census I
entered the name Earnest. Later in my research, I found the WWI
draft registration for this person and his name is spelled Ernest.
Now I wish to change his name to Ernest and change Earnest to the
alternate spelling. I can certainly do this, but if I could copy the
previous citation for the 1900 census, I would not have to retype
the citation for the alternate name entry. Have I missed something?
If not does anyone else consider adding this function helpful?
Best regards,
Beth G.
