If I've understood the problem correctly, it can't be sorted out via
manipulating a Gedcom - or if it can it would be as much work as
shifting them within Legacy as the sources have source detail and have
to be both copied to an event and copied as a source for that event.

I've played around with your idea of running a GED and trying different
transfer possibilites, but either it just won't do the job, or I've
misunderstood your suggestion. I appreciate your thought, though. Thanks,

Hi Anne,
Well you found an option in Legacy that I didn't know existed. options
for non-sources. That doesn't happen very often ;-)
It sounds like you'll have to do them one by one though it may be easier
if you used the copy to general notes option in the non-sources options
and did it from
Thank you Cathy, your suggestions are all very good.
As I understand it, I will have to enter each new event one by one,
transferring the information from its position in sources. I have the census
transcriptions in source detail, and I think I'll be able to copy them via the
non-source options
Cathy?
What if she ran a GED, then hand-inserted the event (type it
once, then copy'n'paste) where it's needed, then re-import

Hi Cathy, Thanks for replying.
I believe I need to make new specific events on each person and move the census
(and other things) from sources for that person to the new events.

Hi Anne,
Can you clarify what you are trying to do?
