Claire, Like you, I attach census images, as well as birth, death, marriage records (and all others) to the source detail. By doing that, the image doesn't get added to the pedigree web pages that I create through Legacy. This is how I have chosen to attach document images. It works for me but

You need to think about how to handle any existing Y-DNA data that happens to be attached to non-males before making a change like this. I hope you aren't suggesting that it be wiped out? If the developers feel it needs to be addressed (I don't), I would recommend that it just be flagged as a "
