When I started genealogy on computer (using PAF2.1), it had the 'middle name'

If you just want to see who has been cited on a (any) census, you could

Ron,
As you will note from the posts in early January, 2009 (please see

sources into the new style sources.
This feature did NOT last every long. Perhaps only in build 55.
Anyone from Legacy support want help clarify this?

Two different things are being compared here. Legacy has never released a
Source Converter, but when Legacy7 was first released it was possible to use
cut and paste to copy data from the old style source to Source Writer, this
optionn was later removed.
