David, This is one of those regular questions and you will probably find hundreds of references in the Archives (links below).
I do not create a Census Event, and only use the census as a Source for the details contained on the census, for which I create events eg. Residence, Occupation, and for a new individual the Vital Events as well. I think that this is one of those options where one must decide which way to go and stick with it. By all means look at the options, Legacy has, I think, a DVD of at least some, but at the end of the day the choice will be yours, there is, in my view, no right nor wrong.

I am using Windows 7, have plenty of ram memory, etc. Problem: Where do I enter the children's names when using the Legacy Census and Residence tags? 1) the Description field is not big enough to handle large families with 10 to 12 kids and a father/mother living with them. 2) the Events Notes field (in other programs - compatibility problem with RootsMagic) is often "off=limits" to information you wish to print. 3) Cut and Paste is long and tedious. The various information you need to refer to is not on the same Legacy screen. Is there any technical advice you folks can share with me?
