Hmmmm, I don’t think I answered that question completely when I said I format my sources to conform the the “Evidence Explained” standards (or Chicago Manual of Style or whatever format you prefer). I put the bulk of the info found in a census records in the event notes. Here is one I did today...
Event/Fact: 1900 United States Federal Census Description: population schedule Date: 05 Jun 1900 Place: , Richmond County, Georgia, USA [all of the above is the fill in the blank part of the event screen] Augustus F. Morris, head, white, male, born Oct 1853, age 46, married, married 25 years, born in GA, both parents born in GA, farmer, able to read/write/speak English, rents, lives on a farm, #17 on farm schedule Josephine A. Morris, wife, white, female, born Jan 1857, age 43, married, married 25 years, mother of 1 child, 1 child living, born in GA, both parents born in GA, able to read/write/speak English William A. Morris, son, white, male, born Sep 1882, age 17, single, born in GA, both parents born in GA, farmer, able to read/write/speak English If I am writing a report, I don't use this but rather I will write it in narrative form. I am making this up on the fly but something similar to... Augustus Morris, his wife Josephine, and their youngest son William were living in Richmond Co, GA for the 1900 census.
