Many of us are working with individuals for whom there are no censi, unless you
count the Domesday Book, which is problematic because of several generations of
aristocracy having the same name and living at the same time.
If you don't work with mediaeval ancestors and with the historians whose

scholars who can study the difficult data available. I still wouldn't

Your statement that you in order to share events with a person is to add
them to your database is not correct. For example, my grandmother was a
servant in 1901 and I have shared her 1901 census with the head of
household by name only without adding her to the database. Her name

I have not been able to confirm this. When I tried to follow the steps
you describe the event notes for the original person were not changed
from those I entered before adding the share and creating the legatee

I usually use this as I am cleaning up my file and I noticed that I forgot to
source something (like I sourced one child but forgot the other). You can fix
the sources quicker if you can paste the multiple sources at one time.

David,
You are correct. I had never tried to add someone to a shared event that
wasn't already in my database but I just tried it and it worked exactly as you
described. I am not sure how helpful this is though because if I ended up
adding this person later as a relation (and I didn't
While merging duplicate Individuals recently one, RIN 30749 had an 1854
baptism which the other did not. I merged 30749 into the other, copying
baptism and it's source resulting in 30749 being deleted.
A few days later a File Maintenance resulted in:

Please note that I fully agree with going to the original
source whenever possible.
However, if you have 6 books, all published in, say 1884 +/-
3 years, how do you determine which if any WAS the original
source?

Spot on. What is the point of allowing sharing with names only if no
index of the names is maintained anywhere?
Another question is what happens to these shares when the data is
exported via GEDCOM. I have examined a GEDCOM exported by Legacy and the
data is there under a _SHAR tag.
My guess is that it is designed this way so that you have two different options
(to include the person in your database or to be able to mention them but not
include them). Different people like to do things different ways :)

Michele is correct. This was designed this way.
In as much as this a Family File I don't need all these ancillary people in
the database since they are not related, however...
I do think it might be useful to have these names available for research
purposes since they are related at least by

When you say that the Event Notes have been replace with These are the Event
Notes, are you talking about the Sentence Preview when you are on the Edit
Sentence Definitions screen. If so, that is normal, that’s only sample text
being displayed, not your actual data.

It has taken most of a week, but I have finally recaptured all the 16,000
census images that had been lost. I added them one by one, but they are now
in and I'm backing everything up. Thanks to those who made suggestions.

Can Legacy (7 or 8) use my database to produce a pedigree
chart with the RELATIONSHIP instead of a name to go with the
picture? I'm even good with just the pictures in the right
places.
I really hate re-creating these for the babies in the
family, y'know?

Be aware that FamilySearch itself goes down from time to time. When anything
odd is going on, give it a little time and try again. Most of the time that is
all you need to do.
