To the best of my knowledge, Ancestry.Com does not re-attach sources/images. If you export a GEDCOM from your Ancestry.Com tree and then immediately re-import it into Ancestry.Com (creating a new tree), all links between sources and images are lost. It's not that you're using different events in

Dolly, I have been a Legacy user since version 4 and a RootsMagic 4 user as well. Both programs have their advantages and faults. Here are what I see as advantages: Legacy 1) much more flexible report generation, both in format and content 2) the Research Guidance capability 3) the ability to

Greetings. I'm a newbie here. I'm also fairly new to Legacy. I'm trying to find the best way to handle my pictures before I enter many more. I started out using Legacy to create photo captions and descriptions. I found, though, that the print-outs for the photo albums were unsatisfactory for my

Notes is not an IPTC field either. I've experimented with this over several years and what you get is what you've already discovered. IPTC Caption imports into the Legacy 'Description' field. Since you mention that printing from Legacy doesn't suit you, my suggestion would be to stick with

Aren't you operating under a misconception here? Unless your photograph comes from high-definition film stock or a large plate, scanning at high resolutions will do nothing to show detail that isn't already there. Quite possibly, but the copied print will look much better than one scanned at
