Several have responded to you about how they handle census data that will probably be more helpful to you than what I do. I have chosen the philosophy of keeping events VERY short (one line) and putting the longer descriptive information/stories/etc. into the General Notes. For census data, I uses a Census event with minimal data (date & place of the census and some pertinent phrase in Description). Then I source the event and put the "nitty details" into the Source Detail Text (rather than in the Event Notes). Just my approach for now. I may change as I go along (hopefully not).

Bruce, What event do you use to enter the source details for the census? I just purchased Legacy and moved all my data from FTM so I'm on a very long learning curve. I am definitely going to order the training videos.

Then, when I print a FGS with sources, I can read what is on the image w/o needing to display the image (which I can, if I have questions about my transcription).
