What is the repeat button for?

When using the repeat button that is on the burial address window, it  created a second location, with only the name of the cemetery.  Since I'm inputting tombstones from a local cemetery I thought this might be a short cut.  Is there something I should do to use repeat button instead of the select button?  What is the repeat button for?

How do I input information from newspaper articles?

I have numerous years of newspapers from Marshall County Kansas.  I have inputted the year 1948 two different ways.  1. Newspaper Article as the event. Date 22 April 1948 (date of newspaper) and place - Wetmore, Nemaha, Kansas. Leaving the description blank and putting this Mr. and Mrs. Fred Claycamp were in Wetmore Sunday visiting at the home of his brother, George Claycamp. in the notes section. 2. visit as the event Date 22 April 1948 and place - Wetmore, Nemaha, Kansas. Leaving the description blank and putting this Mr. and Mrs. Fred Claycamp were in Wetmore Sunday visiting at the home of his brother, George Claycamp. in the notes section. I just learned I need to put the sentence in the description so it will show up in the family report.   As I start a new year, I am trying to figure out if the event should be newspaper article or what the event was - dinner, visit, PTA meeting.   The source is the newspaper date, volume, page and...

New to LVUG community.

Hi from Cathy Claycamp.  I'm a "South Jersey Girl" at heart even though my husband and I live in western North Carolina now. I started genealogy many years ago as a teen.  I was able to trace my Gerlach line to Hans Gerlach born about 1569 probably in Mörfelden. Germany. He married Maria Jung.  They raised their family in Raunheim, Germany (yes I know it wasn't Germany at that time). My great great grandfather, David Friedrich came to New Jersey about 1856 from Lauffen am Neckar.  Other surnames I'm researching: Claycamp, Farsing,  Magin, Mersinger, Reader, Shoemaker, Singleton. I use Legacy deluxe edition.  My goal for this year is to learn how to use the program better.  I attended Tessa's webinar 10 Tips for Using Legacy with Specialized Studies (which was excellent) and realized I should join this community as it will be a great way to achieve my goal. It will be funny getting to know you.
