• Picture Center Makes It Easier Than Ever to Attach Pictures
  
  In the past you had to go to an individual or marriage and then assign each picture one-at-a-time, selecting the location and filename each time.  (To view how to add pictures to an individual's Picture Gallery , click here and then select Pictures from Legacy for Beginners training video menu.)

With the new Picture Center, you can view a list of your pictures and a list of individuals side-by-side and make assignments with the click of a button. You can even assign a picture to more than one person at a time. Just highlight all the people you want to link a picture to and click the Assign button. It was never easier or faster to add pictures to your family members.

The Picture Center in Legacy is a very easy way to link many pictures to many individuals from one place. You will often come upon pictures in groups that you want to link to the people in your family file. For example, you might have a box or picture album of many pictures that you then scan into your computer. The pictures are associated with several different individuals. The Picture Center lets you link in these pictures to anyone in your file from one convenient place within the program.

To reach the Picture Center, choose Picture Center from the Tools menu.

In its simplest form, there are three main sections to the Picture Center screen. On the left is a list of all the individuals in your family file. In the middle is a list of the pictures on your computer. On the right is a preview window showing the highlighted picture.

To assign a particular picture to a specific individual:

1. Highlight the individual in the left window.
2. Find and highlight the desired picture in the upper-center window.
3. Click the Attach button near the lower-right corner. This will add the picture to the individual’s picture list.

There are many options associated with this process. Details are available by clicking the Picture Center's Help button.

The new Picture Center is available in Legacy 5.0 Deluxe Edition, and not the Standard Edition. To order Legacy 5.0 Deluxe, please Click Here or phone (623) 444-8918 (toll-free within the US at (800) 753-3453).

• Age of Consent Varies According to Time Period

When searching, in the UK, for a possible marriage don't assume that the parties were aged about the present age of consent.

In the 1860s the age of consent was twelve years old, in 1875 the House of Commons agreed to raise the age of consent to thirteen and finally it was raised to fourteen.

I found an ancestor who was married and a mother at aged thirteen.
