I like to put this in events because then when I look at the chronology it will show their migratory route. If I were to put this in the notes somewhere I might miss where they were at a certain time and overlook possible records. michele ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wynthner" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Advice on event names >I don't consider Tax Rolls (or for that matter the US Census) as events; >imho they are merely sources for the information they contain about certain >aspects of an individual's life (place of residence at that particular >instance in time, etc.). > > As sources I would set them up as: > > Tax Roll Mississippi 1816 Territorial > Tax Roll Mississippi 1820 Perry County > > Thus all tax rolls would sort by state by year by county in the Master > Source List Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Never miss a thing.
