Leon & Brian,
I tried your “global” source approach and it did transmit the desired website link to my Ancestry pages via a gedcom. However, as I suspected, it placed the information at the bottom of the Sources List on the person page. While that may be the best I can do for now, it still is not ideal, as most of “my people” (that I have researched in detail) have several tens or more of sources – making scrolling down to see the link time consuming and effectively hiding the link. I’ll keep looking !! Thanks again for your ideas.

Try this. 1. Go to Tools, Advanced Tagging, Use an unused Tag and Tag everyone in your database with say Tag 1. 2. Go to Tools, Advanced Sourcing A. Put a source on the source clipboard (click Sourse Clipboard ) B. Select Tab - Which records to Use - select -> Assign to individuals with Tag 1 C. Select Tab I - Where to Assign Citations D. Select check box, Assign citations to individual information E. Select all fields or a specific data field to assign you source F. Hit Apply button to assign your clipboard source to all individuals with Tag 1 to the field you have selected. This seems to be a long process, but it is very easy to do. I use this procedure to assign me as a source to everyone in my database if I am going to create a Gedcom to upload or send to someone. Good luck.

I've tried sharing the event with everyone, but can't find a way to "select all" from the Name List in lieu of single tagging thousands of people. If possible, I'd like to avoid going to Access and somehow adding the events to the fdb file directly (i.e, my last resort, if this can't be done in Legacy). If I can get the event shared, I can run the Legacy gedcom through my TNG website to get the event distributed and create a gedcom for uploading to Ancestry.
