Ron, I will take your experience to heart, because you have many, many more images than I do. I am just a beginner.
Sometimes I just want to look at the images for a county... not necessarily for an individual. I can go to the source master list and find the images there, rather than having to go to an individual's citations to find where one of the county's images are 2 clicks away. But as I said in my post, I could also just look at them on my hard drive, because after completing my big re-naming project last year, the images are together there, too. --Paula ________________________________ From:Ron Ferguson <[email protected]> To:[email protected] Sent: Thu, April 19, 2012 4:12:16 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Do you attach a census image for every single source? Paula, I do not really see where you are coming from here. I am a lumper and I have census Master Sources for each census year. Currently each year covers the whole of England, Wales and Scotland, Ireland I treat separately. I have over 6,000 records in my DB, so even at an average of 4 individuals/census this would give me 1,500 census images. Most of my records come from 4 counties, so even with and even split I would have on average 475 census images/ county. This is far too many for me to even consider searching in order to find a specific one. I think that I must be misunderstanding you somewhere along the line, but cannot see where. I will keep adding them to each individual Source Details where I can find them in 2 clicks.

Yes, if you attach / link the images to the detail citations, then the images are out there with the individuals, not in the source master list. Just a consideration. I mean, I also have a naming convention for the images themselves that keeps counties together on the hard drive, so I could just as easily look at them there, I suppose. --Paula Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
