I don't see how one can argue that and you go on to contradict yourself! A dictionary definition of Event is "a thing that happens or takes place." The taking of a Census happened: a householder filled in a form or answered questions from an enumerator thus making a statement about certain facts pertaining at that time. The making of a statement is an even which took place. Also, one should not forget that Legacy refers to "Event/Fact". It is a fact that people were recorded in a Census. Everyone is, of course, entitled to use Legacy in whatever way suits them best, but I see no reason why Census information should not be entered as an Event/Fact in its own right. -- 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
