I agree. It also gives "context" for the residence information - whether the person is at home/at school/visiting relatives/visiting friends/etc. If the person is shown as a Boarder or Lodger it gives you an idea of the type of household. If you include the information about who else is in the household it can show some interesting things such as a visitor being someone who marries into the family some time later. Nicely worded Census Events can make much more interesting reading on a Report than a series of blunt facts about Residence and Occupation. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
