Sigh...   Okay, Ron.  AMERICAN census records contain race, not UK ones :) :) :)

Charani,

If I may correct you, your statement "Since census records always contain race" 
should read Since U.S.A. census records always contain race".

The advantage of using the Events/Facts dialog box for stating important facts, 
such as race/nationality, is that it's there as soon as you open that person's 
record: no having to remember it or hunt around for it.

I rarely use it except for such important events and/or facts.
