Well, more clean up ahead. I've been using just the census year and country as my source and putting the county information in the detail. I can see why it would be good to keep the counties together in the sources. Families living in the same area can be easily gathered together in a report.
So another task now is to go back, find all the individuals attached to the country for that year, and break the sources down into Counties. It would be so much easier to start using Legacy after becoming an expert. <sigh> >________________________________ > From: Marli Yoder <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 3:36 PM >Subject: [LegacyUG] Sourse vs. event > >Please explain source verses event.
