Paula, I do not really see where you are coming from here. I am a lumper and I have census Master Sources for each census year. Currently each year covers the whole of England, Wales and Scotland, Ireland I treat separately. I have over 6,000 records in my DB, so even at an average of 4 individuals/census this would give me 1,500 census images.
Most of my records come from 4 counties, so even with and even split I would have on average 475 census images/ county. This is far too many for me to even consider searching in order to find a specific one. I think that I must be misunderstanding you somewhere along the line, but cannot see where. I will keep adding them to each individual Source Details where I can find them in 2 clicks.

Yes, if you attach / link the images to the detail citations, then the images are out there with the individuals, not in the source master list. Just a consideration. I mean, I also have a naming convention for the images themselves that keeps counties together on the hard drive, so I could just as easily look at them there, I suppose. --Paula From: julia m <aga...@hotmail.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thu, April 19, 2012 9:18:11 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Do you attach a census image for every single source? That's interesting, I never thought of it that way. I usually attach the census image in the Detail section, but I see it can be attached to the master source. I also set up the census sources by county.
