Not sure, but the menu item *does* say File Restore Family File. No mention is made of Multimedia Files. The Help file and article on the Tips section of the website explains the separate step required for restoring multimedia files. Thanks for using Legacy. Sherry Customer Support

[LegacyUG] Copy Event

A search of the archives found an message thread from 2008 that said there was no way to copy existing events in the Event Master to create new ones. It appears this is still the case. Want to check to see if I'm missing something. If not, this would be a great addition to future versions ...

Keep in mind that many who registered for the draft never served in the military. Hence, I created an event entitled Draft Registration. This covers all of my relatives who registered for World Wars I and II. These records are available to me on Ancestry.com. BTW, Legacy does have a template for

Joy, I will also have to agree with Joy and Jenny in that you don't need to create a sentence in the override tab. For greater flexibility, I created an event and named it Military. The sentence structure is [EventName]: [Desc], [Date], [Place].[Sources] [Notes]. I must admit that like
