Ron, Thank you for thrashing this out. A few questions still remain:
1) The 1920 census picture is filed on my C-drive C:\Legacy\Pictures\USA\Ohio- Cuyahoga County\Cleveland so, it is not a problem to access and use that photo. The original was saved from Ancestry.com as the head of the household (Cariota, Calogero -1920- U.S. Census). That said, when I link that photo to a family member event, what do I use as the caption? 1920 U.S. Census, or do I repeat the way it was originally saved? 2) When I opened the Calogero Cariota's individual picture gallery in family view, I found that there were no pictures, so I transferred 1920 census picture there and saved it. The "Show Picture Gallery for this Person" icon is now in color. However, a census thumbnail appears next to Calogero Cariota's name on family view. This isn't correct, is it? 3) Once this process is repeated for each family member listed on the 1920 census, will this correct the Missing multimedia files screen?
