I don't think I can give *advice* but can offer my thoughts. In my early days with Legacy I did think of putting Census Events (and others, such as Address or Residence) into Marriage Events, but I soon realized that I didn't want to do that. For one reason, if one puts Census Events in the Marriage Events, these will not show up in an Individual Report for either of the Spouses. Also there are occasions when a husband and wife are in different households at Census time so these would not be entered as Marriage Events. In that case in a Report some Censuses will be under Marriage Events and some under Individual's Events. And what about when children are involved? Bearing in mind that I want all information about a person to appear in all Reports, I enter every Event for every Individual. With Event Clipboard this is quick and easy to do and I am quite happy to do extensive editing of Reports, if necessary, to avoid duplication and get exactly what I want. The only Events which I enter under Marriage Events are those relate which strictly to the marriage such as Marriage Notices in the press, details of the wedding, Divorce information and so on. -- 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).
