I have viewed all of the training videosÂ…and as new user of this program, I really want to start off on the right footÂ…and avoid re-doing something I messed up after I have entered 1000 relatives. I also donÂ’t want to reinvent the wheel if Legacy has provided the tools and I just canÂ’t figure out how to use it effectively.
So, here’s the question…if I have a source document that provides information for many things –such as a death certificate which gives the DOD, COD, place of death, parent’s names, etc— I have one “Event” in Legacy -- the death, right? (Still a bit confused as to what should and should not be listed as an “event”) But, that aside, for all the other pieces of information gleaned from this single document– the death certificate is cited in the various places – COD, DOD, Cemetery, etc.—so far so good? Now, what do I do in the File ID box? Is that something to “turn on” somewhere with a “tick box” so an ID is automatically generated? Is that the MRIN? The RIN? If I were to create the File ID using the MRIN (or RIN), should I tack on an additional number or letter to identify the specific document attached to that family or individual? So, the Death Certificate might be MRIN 00012-2, representing couple 12 with only 2 documents in their file. Does this work? What kind of problems could this create in the future for reports, retrieving documents, etc. Thanks for your help--many of the posts here have already answered so many questions.
