I don't transcribe at all.

I mean, I have the images a click or two away, and transcription is just another
step for error.
I do, however, sometimes include information in the census event notes, like

Correct.
When I get a census hit, I create a source clipboard entry and attach
the image(s) there. Then I create a census event for each person in the
household (except for servants, visitors, boarders etc.) and attach the
source to that event.
I don't transcribe the whole household into each event. The
I would like to know how other people handle the attaching of census images for
their sources.
Do you attach a census image for every census source used? Or do you only
attach the image just for direct lines and transcribe it in the source detail
for extended families?

Correct. What I do is I put the information in the source. For example,
let’s say I adding cemetery info for a person. I will also have to add the
source for that info. This is what my source looks like:

While in the family view, right click on the label to the left that says BORN

Another option is to import the dubious file into a new, empty Legacy file,

Michele,
I totally agree with your approach to inclusion of foreign GEDCOMs. Assuming
that one can contact the Tree owner, one techniques which I have found
useful is to offer copies of my document(s) before asking if they have
documentary support for something about which I am uncertain.

I NEVER merge GEDCOM files into my Legacy database NEVER and I certainly
wouldn’t if the info was unsourced. If I thought the information was reliable,
