Well, here's what I use for a Census event and I don't see placing the
census info in the Description field as being redundant. Instead, I think it
clarifies things.
Event: Census
Description: 1900 Federal
Date: 1 June 1900
Place: Hoboken, Hudson County, NJ
The first sentence would then read as follows: "He appeared on the 1900
Federal census in 1 Jun 1900 in Hoboken, Hudson County, NJ."

Subject: [LegacyUG] Event Description
I am rather new to Legacy so I have a question about Event Descriptions. In
the training video by Legacy, Geoff explains how to use Events, but in the
two examples he enters the Event Definition and leaves the Description
blank. And the help file gives no real clue or example of what kind of
information you would put in that field. Could ya'll give me some examples
of what you put in there? Like for a Census event it would seem redundent
to but census, or the place or date beacuse they are listed in other fields.
So what would you put there?
