Well, in some way Legacy believes you do have one attached to William and not to Susan. The images, as others have pointed out, are coded as standard event pictures in your web page. They have nothing to do with the sources at all. Wm Voss On 23-Jul-10 8:56 AM, Steve Stevens wrote: > NO on b

Do you have a picture attached to the William Burley census event -- not to the source, but to the event itself? Do you have a picture attached to the Susan Ellen census event -- not to the source, but to the event itself? Wm Voss On 23-Jul-10 8:30 AM, Steve Stevens wrote: > Ron, &g
