James,
Although the examples I sent tend to be one source per To Do item, I don't
always do it that way. For example, I've had one To Do item that included
reviewing multiple deed books in one county. I didn't set up a separate item
for each deed book.

I am coming to this discussion late, but since I don't see answers to James'
specific questions, let me try to address some of them.
I think the Legacy To Do feature is one of the most powerful, and probably
underutilized, features of Legacy. While I'm still experimenting to determine

Connie,
Thanks a bunch! Those examples are exactly the kind of info. I was
hoping to get back on these questions. It is so much more helpful to
be able to look at real examples too. Pics really are worth 1,000
words.
Someone earlier had said they made a TODO for each source, and your
examples
checked will open.

I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to manage a research
project with Legacy. Both Legacy and the LUG have pitched the TODOs
for this purpose, and I've been trying to make use of those. There's
two things I'm sort of struggling with:
- How best to enter the information both before and

On their way off list. These are Excel 2007 workbooks (.xlsx
extension), and will not open with older versions of Excel. If you

On their way
Just to throw my 2 cents worth in, excel spreadsheets are an invaluable tool.
Gary Minder publishes a great number of spreadsheets on www.censustools.com. In
addition to a number of census checklists he has family group records, cemetery
records, checklists, ship manifests, and research logs.
thinking at the repository. That is for at home in advance and later with
the new stuff.
