Foster child and step child are two different things.
Foster child ... "a child raised by someone who is not its natural or
adoptive parent"
Step child ... "a son or daughter from another marriage of a person's
wife or husband"

You're correct about the term, of course. "Stepchild" was the word used in

Yes, you know that; I know that; but the big question is whether a census
enumerator knew the difference. Or whether the parents even knew the
difference. In most cases, sadly the answer is no. I have one case in which

When you find something on the internet or written in a book, do you correct
the spelling or places or date adjustments if you know they are not correct.

You will be able to sync your Legacy File and your new FamilySearch file
between each other. It is a new concept in doing genealogy. You will get to

Legacy doesn't do what you're asking. Images have to be linked into
picture galleries. You can only copy and paste text into Notes fields.

I seem to recall some time back people were discussing using hyperlinks in
the General Notes and Research windows. If someone with a better memory
than I can remember if this is true or not, maybe a search of the archives
would pay dividends.

If you attach them as Sound files (in Legacy 7 there is another

There maybe a confusion here. Hyperlinks can be included in Notes etc. but only
function when the files are included in webpages. As far as I know one cannot
