Hello Dave, and Welcome!
You're absolutely correct in entering women in your database according to
their birth name; this is standard operating procedure. You'll probably run
into many data entry questions like this as you go along and since you're

You are thinking along the right line. But be aware that the name you give
the Master Source never appears anywhere except within the Legacy database.
As such, you can name that source anything you choose. Your choice needs to

Thanks, Jenny.
Although,as I have said previously, I am only familiar with the basics of the
Publication Centre I have played around with it enough to know that. However, I
tried to answer the specific question without complicating matters! Maybe not
such a good idea ;-).

Not strictly true, actually, Ron.

Or, create an Ancestor Book Report for youself, including an index;
customize the index to include "Birth & Death Years on Names." From the
Preview screen, print out just the Index. This should give you exactly what
you want.

Karen,
Currently Legacy will only work with Western European fonts. Legacy was
developed with Visual Basic 6.0 and our goal is to port it to the new VB.Net
development tool which will allow us to have full Unicode support.
Thanks for using Legacy.

Interesting. I think of a residence as a fact, not an event, whereas a
hurricane that wipes out that residence would be an event. In any case, the

Sheri,
To my narrow mind, the disaster is not an event. It is a fact, a
history, etc that is attached to an event. I've handled this by
adding a note to the couple's Residence event. It keeps the history
of the time that event occurred all together.

So let me understand your position. There is a relatively easy and
reasonable way to accomplish your goal, but you don't want to use it. Is
that right?

I am aiming for uniformity. I could do the basic style but then I would
still have to follow the same pattern as the other census record entries and
I would then have to hand type the entire thing which would mean more chance
of an error. Either way, I lose :(

For the 1850 mort I started with the 1850 pop and then override it to

Michelle - Are you needing to override the census source each time you have
to use it? If so, can you not create a source that is specifically the
mortality schedule or specifically the slave schedule?

When oh when will there be a template for the mortality schedules and the
slave schedules? Doing the override is a pain. You have to override on the
source itself and then you have to override on the detail as well. It takes
quite a bit of time to do one citation.

Hi Dennis;
I debated on doing that but then I thought, others may be experiencing the same

Then I was worried that if the issue had been spoken about in the past, I

through the archives.
