Gene,
What you are seeing is probably because PAF did not support the use of
Sources. Because of that people would insert their source details into
the notes preceding them with a special character (I think it was an
Exclamation Point) Since notes may or may not contain source info and
there could be multiple source entries in a note Legacy cannot extract
and create sources from those note entries.
I do not think there is any way except to bite-the-bullet and manually
create a source from those PAF note entries.
You can create a search list from those using each census event and work
through it until you have created sources for each one. Slow but sure
will win the race. I have been working since June in my file and have
successfully worked through to add 1911 and 1901 Census events from the
Canadian Archives. I finished the 1911 census and started the 1901
census on 17 Aug there were 706 starting people in the 1901 list and
yesterday I had the count down to 390.

Is anyone familiar with importing an old .paf file into a new Legacy file?
I know it can be done directly from *.paf into Legacy, but I am
experiencing a problem that needs to be fixed. It has to do with
importing census events. During the import, census events are created as
such; however the census data itself is placed in the General Notes,
rather than within the census event. Thus, when creating a descendant
report, the information is not presented as it should be.
There are simply too many of these to try to cut 'n paste or drag 'n
drop. I would hope there is some way in the import setup to make sure
the data is placed within the census event.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Gene
