I have incorrectly put Jean Malcom as a Male, and entered all the BMD data
for her. I now find she is a female married to Andrew Ogg, a male.
Inadvertently I entered Andrew as a female, until I realized my mistake.
How can I switch the genders for these two people, and make Jean a female

Mike,
There is no need to delete, nor should you. From the Help files:
? To swap positions:
1. Choose Swap Husband and Wife from the Edit menu. Legacy asks for
confirmation that you want to swap the two individuals and change their
gender.
2. Click OK to make the change.

As a relatively new
user of Legacy, I am finding the source writer system to be a great tool.
I have been

Nick,
Just an observation, the Surety Rating for sources can be used in this way
provided that you consider what standard you wish to apply to each rating.
It would not be perfect, I agree, but it is the best we've got at the
moment!

If you have a marriage (or birth or death) certificate and want to use
it as a source for various data, should you create one source for each
certificate? Or is it better to have a single source Marriage
Certificate and put each certificate's data as detail for the main
source?

Hi Judy,
The most likely place where your saved backup files are stored is in your
C/Legacy/Data.
In order to confirm if this is where you are saving them you can do the
following, with legacy open go to the top left corner of the page and click
Filebackup family fileon the popup screen
First, as soon as you opened a file by inputting any data, you created un
unnamed file. When you left the program, you were asked to name this file. If
you entered any valid name, when you open Legacy next time, that file name is
found under the drop down menu File (includes up to last four).
Judy,
Here's what I have.

I've just had a search through the archives and reference is made to a
thread in 2008.
However, the archives don't seem to go that far back, unless I'm missing
something.

Dear Leo, George and Rich,
Thanks for your responses which comfirmed that my family file was not being

I'm inclined to treat a physical piece of paper as a source in its own
right and to treat a database of related data as a single source.
Seems logical that way. So, certificates are split and indices are lumped.
One thing is puzzling me, though. With

It sounds to me that you might want to look into the To Do Tasks instead of
just relying on tags. In the To Do Tasks, you can list everything you want
to research for a person and include locality and the repository (i.e., LDS
Family History Centre) where you are to search.
You can then

Also keep in mind that _Evidence Explained_ was written for a fairly broad
