Rich explained why the two but not how you can get data from one to the other place.
In the events list, highlight the baptism and then click the Options button.
You'll see a swap with baptism information among other swaps. They are there also for when you have two different dates and put one in as an Alt(ernate) date and later discover it is the real one. This swap takes the sources with it.
Cheers, Cathy

I'm a new Legacy user (about 2 months now) and have a question I've not seen asked (or answered) elsewhere.
In edit mode, there is a space to enter the baptism date and location. This shows up on the view screen (if that's what it's called). There is also the opportunity to enter baptism as an event. However, this shows up only on the events screen. So... my questions are: 1) why are there two places to enter baptism? and 2) is there an easy way to move the baptism data from an event to the other field? So many of my individuals have baptism dates and no birth dates that it is very important to see it on the main screen. However, I imported a very important getcom recently that treated baptisms as events. Other than doing it manually, is there any other way?
Thanks in advance, Norma Elliott
