Mary:
Welcome to the list! You'll probably find that you get at least three
different answers to just about any question you ask because everyone does
things differently and Legacy is so tremendously flexible.
In Legacy a census record can be a Source, an Event, or both. Search the
Help section
If you open the Family page for the individual, you can either click on the
little note icon below the information filed, or click on the field to open
the information page. Under Events/.Facts select Add, then enter Census in
the event field. Enter the date and location of the census, then click
I am a newbie to Legacy. I have a hugs amount of data gleaned from 7
Canadian census reports 1851-1911. Where do I input this info? I started by
pasting the household under Master Source notes with the 'Head' showing
everyone in the household and then each individual gets a single line under

Because Legacy does not add the photos to each person, but only the location of
the file of the photo, you can add multiple copies of a picture to anywhere you
see the icon. I add a family group shot of 40 + people, then add another
version of the photo, cropping only each to a head shot. Then

Dennis, it took me about 4 hours to create my Source report in Word, but now
it's done and I can update any time I need to and make corrections to errors
made during typing. It's okay that Legacy can't do what I want for this
report because it sure does a lot more than other genealogy software.
I'll have to see if I still have the GEDCOM. I took FTM off my computer so
if I don't have the GEDCOM I'll have to reinstall it and export a new one.
I'm only interested in the source images. All the other images have been
relinked in Legacy.
You can link source images, but it's a little confusi

I finally found the place where the File ID is located, but I didn't find my
test ID number in there. I looked through the PDF manual, which is greatly
lacking in any clues, and it said that the Picture Center would be better
for attaching a lot of images. I entered the ID number there and it see

You cannot delete a source if it is being used by an event. So first you need
to go each individual and remove the source using the method mentioned before.
Then you can delete the source. As long as the source is in use by even one
