I started to do this for the 1850 census then to test it attached the

Picture Center, went to the person's source-citation (detail) to see if
the image was attached under Sources, selected Birth then
I have several sources assigned to various people and events but I want to
delete them all and make a new start.
Could someone please advise how I can do this - I've not had much luck going
through the help menu.
Thank you

Ruth,
The File ID fields are by their very nature, alphabetic. Thus, unless
you've used a very strict and consistent numbering format, you're
unlikely to get
You cannot delete a source if it is being used by an event. So first you need
to go each individual and remove the source using the method mentioned before.
Then you can delete the source. As long as the source is in use by even one
person it can not be deleted that's why you can print a

I finally found the place where the File ID is located, but I didn't find my
test ID number in there. I looked through the PDF manual, which is greatly
lacking in any clues, and it said that the Picture Center would be better
for attaching a lot of images. I entered the ID number there and it
So in other words it's not a good idea?
Isn't this something that people would like to have the ability to do, or is
it better to just leave the source images out?

improve GEDCOM so it brings in your image locations. Relinking is a

Did the FTM export contain any picture info? You can email me a copy of
the GEDCOM *privately* if you like.

I'll have to see if I still have the GEDCOM. I took FTM off my computer so
if I don't have the GEDCOM I'll have to reinstall it and export a new one.
I'm only interested in the source images. All the other images have been
relinked in Legacy.
You can link source images, but it's a little
Dennis, it took me about 4 hours to create my Source report in Word, but now
it's done and I can update any time I need to and make corrections to errors
made during typing. It's okay that Legacy can't do what I want for this
report because it sure does a lot more than other genealogy software.

You can link source images, but it's a little confusing as to where to do it
because there appears to be several places
Because Legacy does not add the photos to each person, but only the location of
the file of the photo, you can add multiple copies of a picture to anywhere you
see the icon. I add a family group shot of 40 + people, then add another
version of the photo, cropping only each to a head shot. Then
The Source is what's confusing me. Would it be added to the Master Source
Picture or Source Detail Picture under Sources for each person? Maybe my
definition of Source Citation isn't the correct one, but that's what they
call it in FTM 2009.
I guess it would go under Source and then link each
I wouldn't want to have to redo everything. I wish there was a way to just
import the link information just for the source images. I am sending you a
new GEDCOM from FTM 2009 now.
Since The Master Genealogist reads native FTM 2009 files, I am importing a
new one now to see if it will generate a
Example: If you have a Source of 1900 IL, Cook, Chicago, and ten different
pages with members of your family on each, then attaching all ten to the

using events) then all ten photos will print. I put mine in events
