Maureen, I am a county-level lumper for US Federal censuses, so I have a lot of census master sources. On top of that, I have tried to follow the rules about separate sources including the online database (HeritageQuest, Ancestry, FamilySearch), so that's counties times three! --Paula

I put the state and county info with the other detail info. -----Original Message----- From: Maureen Lake [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2013 12:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] US census master source Good morning, I'm just looking for input. How do you handle the US (or any other) census as a master source? It asks you to break it down by locality, state and county. If you are dealing with diverse areas of the country, how do you differentiate the carious localities. Basically I'm wondering if anyone has a more efficient system than mine. For instance, I list the 1880 census for Randolph county, Indiana, as "1880 US census [IN - Randolph]. It makes for a LOT of census entries. Any ideas, suggestions, etc, or am I making the best of an awkward source?
