Am I the only one who is lost? I am new to Legacy. I started my genealogy search back in 1982 - pre-Cambrian era. I am now trying to enter my data into Legacy. I joined this list in the hope it would help me but to be honest most of what you discuss here is so far over my head I can't even follow the threads. I am beginning to think that so many of my brain cells have atrophied with age that I have left this project too late!!!
I just completed the Source tutorial on the volume 1 video training. I had hoped it would tell me how to enter census data. I understand how to enter books but so much of the info I have is from online data bases. I have tried entering one census 4 times now and every time I can come up with a totally different bibliography citation - so many blanks to fill with too many options of data to fill them. I have just deleted them al in frustration!! I even came up with different templates and now can't remember what buttons I pushed to create which template. What's wrong with forgetting the online source and just entering the original name and number of district, subdistrict, page and line #'s? I have tried to search the archives of this list to learn how to format census entries to create columns. My tab has no effect in the notes section although I thought that was what was being advised. If I format it in Word and cut and paste I lose all the formatting???? I know if and when I can figure this program out the results will be great but so far the effort is incredibly frustrating with little progress. HELP. Can someone show me off-list what their entries look like - both the bibliography and the actual print out?
