Mary: Welcome to the list! You'll probably find that you get at least three different answers to just about any question you ask because everyone does things differently and Legacy is so tremendously flexible.
In Legacy a census record can be a Source, an Event, or both. Search the Help section for Source, paying special attention to the section on Citations and Clipboard. Also search Help for Event and read those sections. Once you get the hang of it and learn to use the Source Clipboard, citing a census source is just amazingly easy but there are decisions to be made along the way. After you read those Help sections you should experiment with a census entry to see the results in whatever output you want as a final result--whether book or report. At that point you'll surely have several more questions to send to the list. Also, please be sure to send your posts in Plain Text.

I am a newbie to Legacy. I have a hugs amount of data gleaned from 7 Canadian census reports 1851-1911. Where do I input this info? I started by pasting the household under Master Source notes with the 'Head' showing everyone in the household and then each individual gets a single line under detail in the source menu and then again entering each individual in events but this seems so repetitive and will take forever. I am also concerned that when it comes to printing reports the same census material is going to be repeated over and over. Does Legacy have instructions somewhere as to how to enter census info? All I can find is how to download a blank form.
