Murray, Suppose you have an average of 2000 images for each of eight branches (your great-grandparents) and one cousin-researcher interested in each branch. How would you plan to link 16,000 or more images to a single Legacy 5 database and still be able to share the right 2000 or so branch images with each of the cousins?
2000 or more images for a branch can be collected easily if a few cousins with scanners have inherited large collections of family pictures, snapshot albums, source documents and keepsakes. Some regionals have free or affordable online census images, scanned newspapers and local histories. Libraries may have microfilms of BMD registrations, census images and parish records. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Murray Lynn" > I quite like the way Legacy leaves picture files outside the database, apart from what happens if you move or rename a file Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
