Ever since I began using Legacy, I have transcribed everything I found on each individual under the General tab. Census, Deeds, Wills, Birth & Death Records, obits, letters, etc. and the last item I put is the Find-a-Grave information. I copy and paste into the General Tab when I can. In some cases, when I print out a family group sheet it may be 20-30 pages long, all telling about the life of that husband and wife. I can refer back to it at any time and see the full information exactly as I found it. I wish we would have had that story tab a long time ago, so unless there is, something very special about it, I don't plan to look at my almost 20,000 folks and move what is in my General Tab to the Story Tab. Can anyone tell me what the difference would be and how it would PDF or print out to include all my work? Thanks Margaret
