Would that also include the details attached to that source? I've not

to Legacy, so still feeling my way along as I go. When I bought the

Jim,
To clarify, as far as I know citation is synonimous with Source Detail
in this conext, so it only looks at the Source Detail. There is a separate
search for Master Sources. I suggest you just give it a try with a few of
your sources - you won't break anything ;-).

Yes. And I have a marriage record one party's surname are spelled

The trick is to create an Event to put the picture into. Each event will, in
general, print one picture per event. Then you can sort the events, which will
also put them in chronology. Ex: for each residence, you can put the photo of

It would be so much better if location reports could contain the pictures
because then, when many people have the same location, there would not be
multiple pictures of the same castle/abbey/whatever. The Location Report,

Hi Michele
I generally do not change the surety level. However I do change the surety
up and down for the exceptions - particularly for highlighting low levels of
surety, or where there are two usually reliable but conflicting sources for
the same event (raise the level for the correct one).
I am getting ready to enter family information into Legacy. I am a new user and

Each with a variation of the last name: Nidiffer, Neidiffer, and Nidiver. These
three names developed over time as they migrated to

Hi Kirsten
The tags you are using for names are (as in a Legacy 7 generated gedcom
viewed in Notepad) for example:
0 @Ixxx@ INDI
1 NAME Joe /Bloggs/
2 GIVN Joe
2 SURN Bloggs
1 NAME Joseph /Blogs/
2 GIVN Joseph
2 SURN Blogs
There may be other tags interspersed for sources etc where applicable,
Kirsten,
That sounds like good advice. I didn't realize I would have to have different
lists of Master Sources and Locations. That would be awful to manage. And I am
discovering there are so many options and preferences I could get lost in them.
I'll stick with one database and when I need to
Brian:
Your instructions are exactly right, and it's the process I follow when

not the extra surname and given name lines associated with them. I couldn't

Brett:
I don't quite follow everything you've said, but it sounds fairly similar to
what my more knowledgeable friend is telling me. As I understand it, Legacy
isn't programmed to permit excluding GIVN and SURN tags from the aka fields;
excluding those two tags only applies to the primary name.
Sherry:
You're welcome.
I should have asked if you're inputting your data manually or importing from
another software program. If the latter, there are some helpful hints that
Legacy users can provide. That would be doubly important if you have split
databases in one program and want to
