Michele, I appreciate seeing your clear example. In the end I'll have to decide exactly how I am going to do my own but there is nothing more helpful than seeing examples. My events look similar to yours but I haven't seen anything to enter for the description so I've been skipping it. I think there must be a good reason to include the census place in the source, or so many wouldn't be doing it. I would have to do some changing but it shouldn't be too hard since the majority of my census sources at this point (for this family) are in one Canadian province and county.
