I didn't have Legacy running when I read your post a moment ago, Richard, so I fired it up and checked the Home tab - sure enough, it was telling me that there was a new version available, as Sherry indicated. Perhaps your copy of the program has yet to check for updates? I can't imagine that

No, not a fee, Leon. Here is how it is going to work... There WILL be some databases that will be restricted. To earn access you have to index at least 900 records per quarter via the FamilySearch Indexing. Each person you index can earn you 1, 3, or 5 points depending on how difficult the

Joan, I'm a bit confused by your question, but I hope one of these answers will be responsive: (1) An unspecified event (not source) is built in to Legacy for every person.  As far as I know, you can't change it.  What you can do, however, is ignore it.  Make sure you've copied the source to

Joan, You can't create a template for your sources, per se.  What you have to do is create a Master Source (such as the name of a book, or the state/country that issued the birth certificate) and then add Source Details (such as the page number of the book, or the birth certificate number).

Hi Joan. Others have already mentioned about the difference between the source record and the source detail, but I'll say it a different way. The source record is a master record that will be exactly the same for every person for whom it is used, whereas the source detail is the specific detail
