If I understand the question correctly, using the Event Clipboard after the
first one is completely 'filled in' carries a duplicate with all fields
matching. Then you can change, if desired. I use a bit more for the title of my
Event ('1870' census) since I have multiple countries, which may have the same
census year. I use CenU1870 for United States census, and would use CenN1870
for Norway (if it existed). The other choices include Canada C, Germany G,
England E, Denmark D and Sweden S. Canada and England both have 1841, 1851 etc.
When I add people to an existing census group, since I include in the 'text' a
transcript of the census, I put the new people in the proper order with the
others.
The trick is to come up with a naming system for 'Event/Facts' that are
meaningful and short (to you).
I hope this helps.

Hi Lisa
I think I know what you have been doing, and believe that you cannot do it in
Legacy. I have always thought that the Legacy Master Lists were a misnomer -
they are not "master" lists, merely lists. You can select from the lists and
add notes for each application (to a person or event etc), but the notes etc
are specific to that application (in the data for the individual or marriage)
and do not become a sub-master list.
As I undertand Legacy you can find the application of each list entry, but
cannot repeat the notes and details for another application by simply
"attaching" to it - you need to enter the data again. However your question
would be great converted into a suggestion for improvement.
Cheers, Brett

Hi all:
It's been great receiving all of this help and I truly appreciate it!
I don't think that anyone grasps what I'm trying to say, however, which is all
my fault.
Ok, using the census as an example, in FTM, I had them all listed under years.
So, under the master source of 1870, I had many, many citations listed under it:
1870 Census:
District 17, Fincastle, Botetourt, VA; p22
District 27, Auburn, Montgomery, VA; p17
District 108, Roanoke, VA; p2
etc.
So, after I had entered the original census information, I could EASILY return
to the citation (Census page) and maybe enter more people on that page of the
census. I have the actual census page attached to the citation and any notes
that I wanted. You don't have to attach the media to each person - it's right
there in the source.
I believe that you all have been referring to entering the source for the first
time. And I understand what you're saying about the Source Writer. But I'm
talking about AFTER you have originally entered the information, and then maybe
you learn about someone else on the same page that you want to enter. You could
just refer to the original source (1870 Census) and easily find the page that
you want to use.
This same method could be used for books, anything that has many citations to
the original source.
Using a book for an example, the source would be:
Title
page 12
page 17
page 57
etc.
Here, each page could be scanned or quoted and only cited for the people to
whom they apply. The scan or quote would only be attached to the person to whom
they apply.
It's logical to me, but I'm still probably not explaining this correctly.
Anyone out there understand me?
Thanks!

Yes, but you can navigate in one or two clicks from Show List to an
individual's screen, and then copy a source with its detail to the clipboard.
Or, from the Source List, you can click on Options (rather than Show List) and
print a report with the citation detail, which is what I originally suggested
when I thought Lisa was asking for a list of people with citation detail.
