Lea-Anne, I do use census events, but I don't have the transcription of the entire household in every event. I use a more narrative style and include just that person's information. For the couple, I add the event to the marriage. In fact, if I have the image, I don't have the transcription anywhere, because I can just pull up the image if I need to see something and neither the image nor transcriptions add anything to the reports that I use. Even on those census sources where I have just transcriptions (have yet to obtain an image and see what was entered for myself), I have the transcription in the source, but I don't print it as part of the citation (entered in the Text field without checking that box). Hope this made sense. But as Ron has said "not a recommendation" - just describing how I do it in case it can be helpful to you.
Note: if you do end up re-doing events, remember to use the event clipboard -- I mention this explicitly because I only very recently learned about this feature and it is wonderful, very quick! --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Lea-Anne Davison <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, February 22, 2012 6:42:45 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Trying to enter information that will result in readable reports Ron Yes I do add as a Census Event. I use the census source as a source for name and approx date of birth. Correct me if I am wrong, you are saying you have a residence event instead of an actual census event, which the census is used as the source. Are the names etc entered into the source as per Geoff's webinar. If so where are they entered and does this then only show as one source at the end of the report Lea-Anne On 23 February 2012 10:35, Ron Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > Lea-Anne, > > Am I right in thinking that you have a Census Event?
