You don't source Names? How do you know where you found the name or the name variants? Yes if it only has the name, then you add the source to the name. If it had name and birth date, I'd add it to both name and birth date. The only exceptions for me is if I have a number of better sources for

Yes - see File - Import - The Master Genealogist - but it is still having a few tweaks. You could try it and report issues. I understand that date ranges is one issue. Legacy dates currently require the same date elements to be entered both sides of a valid date range. eg bet May 1876 and

As a little diversion to all the questions about Legacy 9, I found a biographical sketch of my ancestor's brother in a Texas history book published in 1893. It contains a trove of information about my ancestor's family and that of his parents, presumably from the subject who was 44 years old at

Trove is where all my notes with Emdash come from. When correcting the OCR there is a place at the top of the page where you can insert a symbol and Emdash is top of the list. I have been inserting the symbol in place of a simple dash if an Emdash is shown on the image of the article. I

Hi David, I've only been using v9 for a couple of days. There doesn't seem to be a significant change in v9 other than the advertized items - which I am beginning to like. However I have noticed there are also some bugs in V8 that are now fixed in v9. It also seems to load quicker but that is
