I think it might be easier to confine myself to one online database for my research. ;) I find it interesting that the images in 1940 would be of different quality between Ancestry and FamilySearch - didn't they all receive the same image set from NARA? Maybe if the image is particularly bad in the one database, then I would consult the other.
But which to choose?? --Paula ________________________________ From:Michele Lewis <ancestor...@gmail.com> To:LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Mon, April 30, 2012 11:16:25 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] 1940 census template questions That is the way I do it too. I hit the edit button and change just the name of the county (and state if need be). This is one way to make sure you are 100% consistent on how you format everything. You can only do this for the same year census though! You can’t bring up a 1850 and then edit it to a 1840. Also, be VERY careful to hit the save as new :) :) Michele From: R G Strong-genes [mailto:rgstrongge...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 12:07 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] 1940 census template questions I too create the master source at the county level and I create another master source for the new county. So I don’t have to repeat everything I go to one that I previously used (must have someone using it already) and click edit fill in the particulars for the new one then click Save and choose apply to New source. If you try doing this to a source that has no one attached to it the program will change that source without asking for a new one.
