I would highly recommend that you do include any photo information you have with your photos. I have dozens of unknowns passed down from generations gone. And, consequently, the information is ... you know ... Gone. But beyond the Description and Date fields, Legacy does not offer options for doing that. It has to be done manually one photo at a time and it's not terribly useful. I believe there is the option to print out the Description in some types of reports but I'd experiment with that first to see if you're interested in the results.
Properly annotating photos involves software outside Legacy. ----- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/tag/iptc On 6/1/2010 8:41 AM, Bain Family wrote: > I think I got the html thing fixed. > > I wouldn't cite information from a book without attempting to properly cite > the source.
