Sheelagh, I also have separate files for my genealogy and my husband's. I briefly thought about splitting them into maternal and paternal lines but decided that is too many databases to maintain. My father's line goes back to colonial America and there are A LOT of intermarriages with at least 3 in my direct line. I also have 3 separate Thompson lines (1 on my mother's line and 2 on my father's) and 2 separate Wilson lines (1 each on my mother's and father's line). I am afraid that I will someday discover the Thompson lines connect and Wilson lines connect and then I'd have a mess on my hands. As it is I am hoping that the Braun line in my tree and the Braun line in my husband's don't "collide" somewhere along the line in Germany. On the matter of duplicating sources and locations in each database: Legacy is supposed to allow you to import sources, locations, etc. from another database. However there appears to be a bug which prevents the import. When I reported the bug to support, Sherry responded saying that the bug is known and they are working on the fix. Hopefully that will be resolved soon. In the meantime, try this: Choose the appropriate source/source citation in either the Master Source List or the List of Assigned Sources for any individual. Go to the Output tab and highlight the text you wish to copy. Use CTRL + C to copy the highlighted text (don't try to right-click and copy because it won't work). Paste the text into a blank Word document or in WordPad (or your preferred text editor). Now you have all the information you need to recreate that source in another database. Hope this helps. Terri
