Nancy: Until you Santa might bring you a laptop, look into a "Flash Drive" to take on those library trips. many libraries now have computers that allow viewing of microfilm in digital picture format that can be downloaded onto your flash drive! You can transfer the picture to you desktop at home, and paste the picture into Legacy in the Master Source, into Events, etc. Pictures of the actual document really improve the quality of your work. It is there for future reference. Also there is no transcription errors! David

Now I am gradually going back and scanning documents and adding them to either sources or events, where ever is appropriate for what the document is. I have learned so much from this list that I am finally realizing all that I can do and enter into Legacy. Now I just wish I had a laptop to make it more portable! It's on my Christmas list this year ;-) ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Dave Eastham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com To: <LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Repository Question Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 09:37:02 -0400 <I could 'lose' all my hard-copy material> Bill, Consider scanning your hard-copies and storing them in Legacy. It not only assures that you will not totally lose the information I have found documents much easier to find if they are on the computer. I put a copy of the document in the master or detail source depending on how they are set up. Regards, Dave Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
