Another suggestion - import a test file of you data to Legacy and just play around with it for awhile. Try entering information in different ways and then checking various reports and the many options within those reports to see how it looks, what you like and don't like. In general, get familiar with all of the features. I did this for about 2 months when I moved from FTM v.16 to Legacy a couple of years ago and I think it was time very well spent. During this time, I tried to clicked on everything in Legacy to get a feel for what could be done. Then after I felt comfortable with the software and had an idea of how I wanted to set things up, I imported a clean file, tagged everyone in the file with Tag 1 and started to work. I looked at each person, added events and photos and made sure they were set up like I wanted then deleted the tag so I knew I had finished that person. That took some serious time (and I still have some cousins I haven't done) but I started with my direct line and the siblings of my direct line because they are the people I have the most details about.
As to your question about whether or not "Grave" is the best way to go for tombstone photos - it's really just your preference. I added an event "Grave Marker" (the event name doesn't really matter) to which I attach tombstone photos. My main emphasis is a website and I wanted the tombstone photo to be the last thing displayed on the person's webpage. Linda www.lfmccauley.com On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 11:38 AM, William H.
