I have a teeny tiny hint. If you have census records with poor quality, consider checking Ancestry for its latest version of the document. They have proprietary software that cleans things up nicely.

Sorry if this is a duplicate question - I just can't find anything about it. When I find a record on FamilySearch.org, it has a wonderful "Citing This Record" at the bottom. I have no idea how to put that into Legacy sources. I've attached a photo of one of the records for reference. Thanks!

If I rename photo's that are in Legacy Media Folder do I have to relink the picture's one at a time?

So in my moments of far-flung fantasy, as I take a break from updating my sources (one by one, eventually generation by generation) I imagine that I find someone who has uploaded a Legacy source file with no real people, but Master Sources for every census, major record source (SSN, etc.) and typical site (findagrave...) I know there are basic source examples out there, but what a great resource it would be. And of course, there are complications (e.g. I found many census records on my local library site, or on microfiche many moons ago) but really, I'd pay for a copy of that base of data.

So that slayer of all documentation efforts, citing sources, is really a drag for me right now. Can anyone direct me to a good reference for cleaning it all up? I really took a hit due to Ancestry adding multiple citations. For example, I have three citations for my grandfather's name, two for his birth and still other facts all from the exact same census. So I have been going through every one, checking to see if any have images or extra details, and erasing all of them except one. But how do I relink all of the facts back to the same source citation? And is there an easier way? Any insights appreciated.

Tuesday's Tip - a great way to learn is to watch how others do something. A good example is one of my favorite genealogy shows TLC's Who Do You Think You Are? The first episode of this season is now online (you can watch without commercials). What to watch out for - references to the Great Migration (for all of you whose ancestors came to the colonies early on) and to research in English records (those go way back and it helps to read Latin!). A great resource for the Great Migration is the New England Historic Genealogical Society NEHGS (they have a wonderful website at AmericanAncestors.org). Watch the show for some family and social history, a bit of treachery, and all kinds of ideas for records you might want to include with your research if your roots are British. Of course - then you could add all that information into the events/facts section of your Legacy family file. How I wish one of the WDYTYA shows would follow one lucky "regular person" doing th...
