Hi Everyone:
I think that Legacy is a great GENEALOGY progam and I couldn't live
without it to control vital records for my research.
The Individual's Information window and its event/fact are critical for
understanding the information collected and it points to areas of
future investigation.
I would not placing any of this sort of information under the marriage
events. I try to be consistent and apply repetitive information to all
individuals
associated with the events/fact. If a husband and wife immigrate on the
same ship, is this a marriage event? I would apply it to both individual
events.
Each individual must stand alone for research purposes and consistence.
Focus on the genealogy side first, then reports, chart and vacations.

I like "everything" to print so I use Events a lot. When I first started with Legacy, I entered everything under each Individual - so for example a Residence, I would enter it under the Husband and then again under the Wife. This was great for Individual Reports, however, it didn't take too long to realize it was a lot of repetitious information when running other reports as the same information would be repeated.
So now I enter "Individually" anything to do with a person that I consider relating to
that person "only" such as his occupation, birth, etc... and anything to do with the
Marriage such as Residences (while married), family trips, etc.. under Marriage Events. This way
no matter what the report, it shows a full history of a person or family without the same
information printing out twice.

When you are intering information that pertains to both spouses should you
enter individually for each spouse or wuld it be better to enter it into the
marriage section. I am thinking of something like vacations or other things
that the family might do.
