I do very similar to Marilyn but also place a transcript of the Census on Marriage notes (if family) or General Notes (if individual) including in that transcript the location and name of the image in my filing system. For each Residence or Occupation I use a Basic source of that Particular Census e.g. Census 1861 UK and identify in source details whether the transcript is in marriage or general notes.

On the SourceWriter field that asks for "ID of individual" I put "John Doe household". I do, however, include everyone in the household, whether servants, lodgers, visitors, etc. Sometimes these turn out to be family members, at which point I add them as individuals in my family file. I don't use "Census" Event either. I do use "Residence" event for everyone on the census, and if there is an occupation, I also do an "Occupation" event. I use the source clipboard to make it quick and easy.

As you say, it is often beneficial because further research can sometimes show that a visitor or whatever is, in fact, a member of the extended family or the future husband/wife of a family member. -- 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).
