I usually put the headstone information as the source, but I also list
it in the burial notes, not death notes. If you attach a photo to the
burial notes, it will not print in reports. So I also created an event
called Headstone which I attach the photo to.

John,
There are basically two ways of doing this within Legacy:
1) Add them as unrelated individuals on your main file ie. as separate tree(s)
(AddNew Unlinked Individuals).
2) Create a separate .fbd file with a new name eg. Casuals.fdb (FileNew
Family File)and put them all in there.

It depends a lot on your email provider.
For instance, on gmail you don't see your own posting, until you get a

your email provider just doesn't give you your own email to the list.

I have to disagree with this statement. Ampersands are quite OK.
They just have to be coded correctly.

I don't think the problem is with Ampersands in general, but the OS they are
on. Unix/Linux uses special characters as control characters and they can
