Might that be better asked on an Adobe list? After all this is a Legacy list.

It sounds like a lot of you use it. Do you use the photoshop elements or photoshop cs3? I just wondered which is easier to use to get what you want accomplished.

Do you make another copy of the same page but name it for the head of that household? And what about when the person you are connected to is a boarder in a house? Have the file named for the head of household who has no connection whatsoever to your family? Just curious because I find it easier to have generic names for my documents so that I can attach them to as many people as necessary.

Year US Census, State, County, City or Militia Dist, last name and initial of head of household. Example: 1880 US Census, Georgia, Clarke, Athens, DorseyWE They then line up by Date and Location and are easily found. Works for me. Most of my Census images have been saved in .gif or .tiff format but it does not matter as I sort by image name not type. ---- Penny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Help!
