The way I do it is: I use basic, not SW. My source might be ENG, Notts, East Markham, East Retford p18, 1841, and put the photo and the transcript, into the source photo and text. Then I make an Event putting the same transcript into Event notes. When I attach the source to the person, I put the correct line from the transcript in the Source details. Now I can 'hide' or 'private' all to not print at the time. I use abbreviations in the Source name, and full spelling in the Title. Rich in LA CA

I am currently adding census info to my Legacy tree by by selecting Events and then adding relevant Dates (1881, 1891 etc) and then using the information from Findmypasst and pasting this into the Event Notes field. I can also add the image to the Event. This all seems fine but when I have a couple of parents and 8 children (not unusual) I end up having to repeat this process many times. I can of course cut and paste an event from one person to another and that saves a considerable amount of time. However this still means that the same information is in numerous forms in the database. My question is - is there a facility to input a single set of info from a census for a household and then simply attach this to all members of the members of that household. In this way if you need to make an amendment then you would just change a single entry and this would then be reflected in the records of all members of the household. Hope this makes sense. Any thoughts welcome.
