And if you are using Legacy's SourceWriter templates, Legacy itself will force
you to separate the TYPES of census records in a given census year.
("tangled web" comes to mind when I stop to ponder SW templates...)

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] US census master source
This goes back to preferring to be a lumper or a splitter. It really is
personal preference. I like to have my citations mirror the ones in Evidence
Explained so for census records I am a splitter. You see how I do it based on
how I have them listed in my Master Source List. All entries are Ancestry.com
unless I have (FS).
Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Columbia County - 1880
Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Columbia County - 1880 mortality
Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Richmond County - 1850
Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Richmond County - 1850 slave
Census Records - Federal - Mississippi - Perry County - 1850
Census Records - Federal - Mississippi - Perry County - 1860
Census Records - State - Mississippi - Perry County - 1845 (FS)
Census Records - State - Mississippi - Perry County - 1853 (FS)
Yes, I have a lot of entries but they are organized in such a way that it makes
it very easy for me to find what I am looking for.

I treat the 1880 US Federal Census as a single master source entity, but
consider the different indexes (Ancestry vs Family Search vs others) as
separate master source entities. I put the state and county info with the
other detail info.

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?
Thanks
Maureen
