Jenny, I matters to me as I regularly search for individuals with the same name and same occupations, or residence, in which case having Events makes life much easier. Not so much for my Family file but for my One-Name Study. Where there are a large number of people with same names one is frequently looking for some commonality in order to search for duplicates. There other ways of doing this but Find>Search>Detailed Search is, in my view the fastest.
I am not suggesting that everybody, or, indeed, anybody should do it my way.

No, with the Census Event "method" it is not so easy to extract just information about Residences or Occupations as it would be if these were in spewcific Events. This doesn't bother me, but I can quite appreciate that this ability would be high priority for some people. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
