Hi
This is my first ever posting to this list and I don't even use Legacy but
have always used TMG. I do however own Legacy V7 and I like the program but
it would be too much work to move from TMG. One of the reasons for this is
that, because of the way TMG handles witnesses, only the head of household
would be linked to the census in a gedcom file. Also I don't like the way
Legacy has unstructured addresses.
However getting back to the point I will say that I am a "lumper" and that I
just have a source for, for example the 1841 UK Census or the 1880 US census
and so on. In the citation goes the name of the head of house, the place
(not the address) and the reference number. I don't include anything else
because it will be in the database anyway e.g. street name etc. If I didn't
do this I could end up with thousands of sources - approaching 1000 families
times 1841 through 1901 and soon 1911 is a lot of sources to name and wade
through. No thanks!
