I suppose that, as always, it depends on how you're entering the data and what you're trying to achieve. You appear to be trying to record each census as a 'family' event, whilst I would go for an 'individual' event. This is for the England & Wales Census but should apply to the US. I have a single Master Source for each census that was taken (1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911). And I generally use Basic Sourcing. If I were to record the household details (I don't), I'd create a Census event under the Marriage Events for for householder. In the event notes, I'd insert my transcription for the whole family, which would come from the two pages. I would note in the transcription, where the page break occurs. When adding the citation, I'd use my 'standard' Master Source and in the Source Detail add both page references along with the full transcription, and add two links to the pages in the Multimedia tab. As I say, I don't do that. I create a Census event for each individual in the family. This allows me to copy the event to the Event clipboard and then paste it as a new event for each member of the family. I then Cite A Master Source for each event, using the applicable Master Source. For the details, I record the reference number(s) in the Detail Information. Repeat the transcription in the Text/Comments. And in the Multimedia, add a link to the image of the appropriate page. This citation can be copied to the Source Clipboard (once per page) and then pasted against all of the Census events (on that page) that I added. I can then repeat the event process for other events, such as Occupation and Residence since the same citations applies. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
