Jerri,
The source clipboard is a tool that will let you add that same detail to
all the family members listed on that census. If you set up the
clipboard first with the census details and text you can then use the
paste from clipboard icon to add that source for other members of the
family with a single click.
Re: Using Family Names etc in the text of the source. If you enter it
there the data will only appear in the source citations of any reports
you create. The alternative is to create an event for each person.
Legacy has the built-in Census event. If you enter the details of the
family in the Event Notes they will appear in the body of your reports
when you include events.
NOTE: Legacy also has an Event Clipboard so you can create the event for
the first family member then copy it to the Event Clipboard when you add
that event to the other members of the family you can use the Event
Clipboard to paste in the event details with one click. In fact if you
set up the event with the source attached before you copy it to the
Event clipboard both the event and the source citation will be pasted to
each family member.
It is up to you which method you use for entering family details,
personally I like the fact that Events are in the body of the report and
the family details are included with the Event so that is what I use for
my census entries.

Hi: I've just started using Legacy and have a question on the Master
Source List.
For Census Records, I have set up a Master Source as 1901 Census -
Ontario
For the Source Detail, I have entered the specific details for the
census, the county, city ,page # , household etc.. Do I need to
enter the names of the family members in Text/Comments.?
I am entering the family names, ages, etc. on the clipboard, copying,
pasting and highlighting as needed.
If you add the family names to the source detail and the clipboard
you are entering the same info twice. I'm not sure if this is
necessary or does the info show somewhere that I'm not aware of?
I do want to do it right the first time, so I thought I would ask the
experts.
Thanks
Jerri
