I'm similar to Bruce. I build the source data in the source clipboard and then create an individual event for the head of household and save that in the event clipboard.
I then create individual events for each member of the household, using a few mouse clicks and a bit of editing for the description. My event sentence is On [Date] [HeShe] appeared on the census [~inPlace] where [HeShe] was shown as a [Desc] [Notes].[Sources] I use the description for the occupation and the notes for extra information, including such things as "she was living with her son Fred and daughter-in-law Mary". I've not used ages in the description, but I think I will in future. Nice one Bruce. Obviously, when the Desc is missing, that part of the sentence isn't used. I use the short location name as I don't like having the full location in each sentence. I generally drop the country and state/county, but sometimes use the county to distinguish between Newcastle and Newcastle NSW. I also change the prefix from "in" to "at" when there is a street or house name in the location. "in Newcastle" but at "at 3 High Street, Newcastle" Hope that is helpful Tony 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
