Julia: As with many things in Legacy, it's your choice whether to put data in Events, Source Detail, or both. I do transcribe the whole family's census listing into the source citation because I want it to appear in the Source Notes. With the report format that I use most, Event information prints in an area that I consider disruptive (although the option to print them at all can be turned off). The best way to decide is to try both, preview some of the reports you expect to use with various options selected, and see which results you prefer.

I have a question about entering data for census. I've seen in a few examples that the data from the census line is typed into the census event field (e.g. BROWN, David, w, m, 33, etc.) Why is it typed here and why wouldn't this be typed into the detail source text? Just wondering how others do this procedure...
