Hi Jim,
No, I don't think you're missing anything at all. :-)
I do the same these days (having started out doing it differently and
being unsatisfied with the results). The census page is a source of
information, therefore the source area of Legacy is a fine place to put it.
Use the Source Clipboard to copy the exact same information from one
piece of data to the next, and when you produce a report that particular
source detail will appear only once in the list. Remember that "exact"
means just that (which is why the Source Clipboard is so useful), and a
single character difference will render two source details as different
and make them both print, which is not ideal.
The same goes for the images, which is what you were asking about.
Include it in the source area, and it will print just the once, rather
than repeating it for each instance where data from it is used. Whether
you attach it to the Master Source, or the source detail, will depend on
whether you're a "lumper" or "splitter" as we've been discussing
recently. If your image relates wholly to the Master, then attach it
there. But if your Master Source covers more than one page, attach it
to the detail that it belongs to.
Hope this helps. :-)
Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard

I've been thinking through how I attach census images. Up until now I
had been attaching the specific census page to the master source. So
for example 1930 Census San Diego, California with say page 9A
attached as the master source.
It seems the better way (at least in my case) is to have attached the
specific page to the source detail for the given person. I'm running
into the situation where I have three different people in the 1930 in
the same state same city. It is far too confusing to attach three
images to the 1930 Census Master source and then put information in
the image description. You can't easily view the picture description
in the Master source view.
Or am I missing something?
Jim
