Hi all, I am so excited. I am finally starting to GET IT when it comes to data entry in LegacyFT. I have figured out what I want in terms of how much source lumping / splitting I want to do for each of my current records, and actually pre-entered my master sources for each type of information in my notebook. It has made it much easier now to take my individual records and do the necessary data entry. I have a lot of records to enter yet, but I am consistently doing a little bit each night and am getting through my pile.
I have found a shortcut much to my liking in LFT. I have been making much use of the master source and location lists, and find that I like using the name list as my "homebase" to enter records. It's much easier for me to scroll or search through the list of names than it is to hop from one name to another in either family or pedigree views. I do have a question. I have been using the source clipboard successfully, but the other day, I entered some detail information under the wrong event name (christening vs. baptism). Is there a way to copy the full details (two or more tabs) and then paste it onto another master event? I have been copying the text/notes tab, but then I need to re-enter the details tab again. Also, I notice there is a very large concentration of genealogy focused people as well as educational events in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas. Is anyone here from the New York Metro area? I'm in NJ and would love to connect with others in the area, who can help me find resources/educational opportunities in my area.
