Marg, Yes, I enter the township instead of the town/city in a location name. Township is a breakdown of county but outside of a town or city. I don't think I've seen them both on the same census page.
Also, "the location where they lived" should be the same as the location for which the census was taken, at least at the state/county/township level. The enumeration districts changed from census to census (or at least could change), so they should not be part of a location name. Rather, there is a place in the census source template to enter the enumeration district. After all, it is just part of the "path" for someone to follow to find this source you are citing themselves. --Paula ________________________________ From:Marg Strong <[email protected]> To:[email protected] Sent: Wed, April 25, 2012 10:47:03 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Master Locations - Townships; census Do others want to enter the township into the location? There isn't a problem if the location doesn't have a town and a township, but when that happens, how do you list the township if you want to keep to the standard location form for countries where it works. I've been adding it after the town (in parenthesis). Is that not a good idea? Just to run something else by you: I think I have it right, but would like confirmation. When the census is entered as an event for an individual; or info from that census entered, I'm thinking the location where they lived during the census would be used. The census location includes district and sometimes counties don't coincide with districts (more what I've heard than personal knowledge). That would be noted in the source and not a location field?
