Brian, Here's my thoughts....
I transcribe the information both as part of the source detail text and as part of the event notes because I don't know in the future what I'm going to do. Say in the future I want to share a GEDCOM file with someone else, but don't want to include the events/facts. Because the detail text has the transcription, they too will receive this transcription if that particular citation is also attached to vital events (birth, marriage, etc.). I do add the picture to both places for the same reasons. Maybe I didn't mention that in the video? I don't know, I'd have to go back and check.

Hi, In the Legacy Training video "Researching with Legacy: Events and Chronologies" Geoff Rasmussen gives an example of entering a census record. 1st he shows creating the Master Source; then the Detail Source. In the Detail Source the video shows him putting a transcription of the record in the "Text/Comments" tab. However, he doesn't put a picture or image of the census record in the "Multimedia" tab before he tells us to enter "Save". He goes on to show how to enter the "Event" as "Census" and once again has the record transcribed, but this time in the "Notes" tab under the actual event. He then points to the picture icon and says we may want to save a picture of the census there. Questions: 1. Why transcribe the record two times (once under the Source Detail and a 2nd time under the Notes)? Is there a reason for this redundancy? 2. Why put the picture of the census under the Event "Census" rather than in the Source Detail? Or, should one do both?
