So in reading your responses, I'm understanding that you do NOT think it is a problem to duplicate the information in the source and the event for a particular census? That is my issue. I like the census event and I like my source to be clear in the details about where I got the information. It's just that they are duplicated information.
My only issue left that I wish they would fix is the ability to bold, underline, etc in the events. There used to be icons on the left side and you could highlight specific information I know you can add the ctrl b command but that doesn't make the desired text BOLD except in reports. I want it visible when I look at the details in my legacy file. I don't understand why they removed that. But that's another matter I've asked about before and i guess other people didn't use it. Thanks for all the comments :-). It is wonderful to have so many choices in how to use legacy family tree !
