Hi Ron, Have you got confused in your terminology? If you have an 1880 Census Master Source, then you wouldn't attach an image for a particular family to the Master Source though you may add it to the Source Detail (Citation).
On the other hand you may attach it to the event itself. I wouldn't attach a census image to an event as in reports they are too small to be legible unless you've cropped a small section. For that matter I don't attach this sort of source to the source detail either. I do a full transcription and then file the image under Genealogy Images/Census where I can retrieve it quickly if needed. With census images far more easily accessed online, I don't even save them unless they are particularly significant in establishing some relationship or other detail. It really depends how you want to access the image again and how you output your data.
