I'm thinking that if you simply removed the details and put them in the
source detail to remain with the person, does the system really know
that the sources that remain are identical? Since they were created as
separate entities, I'm wondering if Legacy is really going to treat them
as

you will have to manually combine the multiple sources.

It's obviously the .fdb and .tc files. Are there any others?

I'm not familiar with Sugar Sync, but if it's anything like Dropbox, the only
thing I've done is make sure I have the latest version of Legacy installed on
both my desktop and the netbook I take with me to travel, plus the fdb file on

I do not know Sugar Sync, so cannot comment on whether it will work or if there
are any snags, but like many other users I use Dropbox and have had no problems

I only bother with the fdb files, if, however, I was using the ToDo files as a
basis for doing research then are

you for helping us make Legacy a better program for everyone.

Dear Jerry,
Many thanks to you and others for their comments.
I have no problem with the difference between a master source record (eg
Birth certificates) and source detail (an individual, specific, birth
certificate).
I thought that I would try and tidy up my records and check that all my

Dear Connie,
Thank you for your reply. On an individual's record (eg Jean Skeet) I
have just clicked on 'Cite a Master Source' (from the 'books' icon
bottom right of a record),
chosen the source I wanted (eg 'Birth certificates'), then added the
source detail (individual birth cert - here for
Joan,
You said, Moving next to marriage certificates, there is no 'Marriage'
under
'Events'. Ergo, I want to create an 'Event' called 'Marriage' with a
Master Source 'marriage certificates' and then list the details of
individual marriage certificates along with the details for a given
Joan,
You do not have to create a marriage event. There are two ways to link a
source to the marriage:
1. click on the sources Icon beside the marriage information to open the
list of marriage sources
3. scroll the list of events for a person down to the Marr: (spouse
name) and link your source

Nothing appears to be happening as you stated. First of all, would you
remind me how to highlight the sources. Second, when I click on the Combine
button in the bottom of the screen, nothing happens. Also, there was no
offer to add the template ID column to the list.
Dear Michele,
Many thanks for this. What you describe is what I've been doing up to
now, though without all the detail of witnesses etc - though, as you
say, they could easily be added.
I thought that using 'master sources' was the 'way to go' but I'm
rapidly rethinking that it is really just

does not work when you first try it. If you click on edit then cancel
without making any changes the button should start working correctly.

I DO use master sources but I attach them in the marriage area, not in the
main events area (does that make sense?) Here are some of the marriage
sources I use
Marriage Records - AL - Alabama Marriage Collection, 1800-1969 (Ancestry
database)

Dear Marilyn,
Ah - this now makes perfect sense. I think the problem is one of
completely different backgrounds. In the UK, we don't really have
collected records like this. We just have parish registers the GRO
indices from 1837.
I think I'll go back to my original method of working, but

Please see my response to Brian's instructions, mentioning that it
sometimes happens that nothing happens (!) and what to do about it.

I now get the picture of how the system is intended to be used. I have
to say that although I have frequently come across Bishop's transcripts,
I have never come across an Archdeacon's Transcript!

What you said to do worked, combining one source at a time. It would
not combine a group of sources at a time. Now I am looking at some other
sources that should be combined and hoping that the update fixing the problem
happens soon.

Did you use his father’s obit as a source for your individual, say, to prove
the relationship or his name? When I use an obit, I use it as a source for
everyone named in the obituary.

How do I change the Legacy sentence structure of Birth, Baptism,
Death, Burial location information from the default in to at?
Example: (default) He died in Valley View Hospital, Anyplace, USA ie
[inPlace]
Example: (change to) He died at Valley View Hospital, Anyplace, USA ie
[atPlace]
