If I understand your question, to some extent it will be trial and error.
Depending on how you have structured your sources you will have to go to
master lists/sources, then show list and tag them. OR you'll have to go to a
specific source detail connected with one person and show list for that

Thanks. I will file and id as I get the future

Gary,
I tried using a letter in front of the number for my adoptive family
database so that when I'm gone that database could be willed to descendants
of that family and separated by my children easily. The problem is that then

Jean,
Although I believe Nick's comments and questions below may have been directed
at me, you have an answered them better than I probably would have. I haven't
used tagging too much and I often forget what a helpful tool it can be.
Thank you for responding.

This sounds like you have created a master source and you are just asking
how to use it. If so all you need do is when you enter an event, in this
case a census entry, you need to select the source icon that shows on the
event screen. This brings up an assigned sources screen and from there you

This sounds like a great idea. However, how can I prevent this bogus

Thank you to everyone who replied to my Master Source
question. Since I'm basically starting from ground
zero I wanted to make sure I was starting on the right
foot.
One source of information that I hit today was
Passenger Lists. Do you create one Master Source per
source type, ship, or voyage?
Yippee - after weeks of not getting any mail from LUG, I am getting them again.

Elizabeth,
I am sorry but I am not clear about your question.
Are you asking how to merge a Gedcom into Legacy, or if you can merge two
Gedcoms without entering them into Legacy (you cannot easily, if at all)?
Do you have an existing Legacy file into which you wish to merge them or not?

So far, I only have 2 master sources for immigration data. One is for

Furthermore, it would be nice to be able to produce a list of every
individual with that File ID, or to produce a list of every File ID that an
individual is on. I have not been able to get Legacy to do this.

Probably because the File ID identifies the specific Legacy file (and there is
only one of each) and is not designed as the identifier of a hard copy.

If you use the File ID in the Source Detail/Citation rather than in
the Master Source (I do both), then the File ID will show in the list
more than once.
I think this is due to the way Source Details are stored in the
database. They aren't stored once but there is a copy entered every

This responds to both Jim and Nancy's comments.
First, Jim. You are exactly correct. Legacy does not provide a File ID
report sorted alphabetically by name. This is a serious shortcoming for
the many of us who file records "the correct way" (said with a smile for
those who don't). :)

True, the Legacy feature that automatically assigns the next sequential

However, the advantage of using the letter prefix to identify record

Gary,
Not sure what you mean when you say ". . . the Legacy feature that
automatically assigns the next sequential FileID can not be used when
prefacing the FileID with a letter."
I routinely use "FID" as my FileID format (i.e. FID0001, FID0254,
etc.). When assigning a new FileID to a s
You can use Legacy to find next sequential File ID when you are

I have now upgraded from .110 to .118 three times. Each time the

Do I need to down load the full program and install that?
