I have been starting to use the metadata field in pictures so that when I link

Legacy's photo description field. I must have unchecked a box somewhere because

Jenny,
does this mean that for a given Census year you enter the Census as an event as
well as the Residence as an event? Also, if an individual stays in the same
residence for many years, do you combine this into one residence event?

When citing the city directories (I use Fold3, mostly), I use the SourceWriter
and select "directories." SourceWriter then asks for the medium, and I select

That means in SourceWriter you choose the Basic format instead of Online Images?

Two-part question:
Since the City Directory databases seem to be recently updated (and I'm finding
so many relatives), I'm tasking myself to flesh out my Residence events for my
tree. However, I can see this producing huge amounts of scans for every single
person just for City Directory listing
That's interesting, I never thought of it that way. I usually attach the census
image in the Detail section, but I see it can be attached to the master source.
I also set up the census sources by county.

Do you attach a census image for every census source used? Or do you only
