Rick - I've been using Legacy since before training videos. Some of my "old ways" I've changed because of the videos, LUG, the instruction book and the Help files.
However, I continue to do one thing that works for me: I do not use a "census" event. Nor do I use a "Tax list" event; nor a "City Directory" event. I use a "Residence" event - it's important to me to know who lived where, when. Thus, I use the "description" field to enter Census, tax list, city directory, etc. Just my way.
