Ana- It might seem labor intensive, but you would do essentially the same thing linking a document to each person in Legacy.
Instead of going back and doing all those you have gathered, you could start with the next source you find, enter it into Clooz and link it to the individuals. You can import your ancestors into Clooz from Legacy so you don't have to enter them both places. I have to admit it's been a while since I've worked in Clooz. I teach family history online and consequently have little time to do my own. I have Clooz on an older Windows XP machine which is missing a crucial file. XP is corrupted on that machine and won't run Clooz. I recently purchased a new PC and haven't had time (teaching interferes!) to install Clooz on the new computer. I think Clooz can be especially helpful when trying to get through brick walls. You're looking at the sources from a different angle and just might find that "clue" you need. -Judy On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 9:22 AM, Ana <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Judy - I tried Clooz when it first came out & found it awkward & hard > to use.
