I put my census in under events as follows:Use "Census" as EventFor
Description I use "Household of John Doe"Date: Just year of
censusLocation: Location
By adding the household name under description, it prints a nice
sentence on your family group sheet like:"She was listed on the 1930
census in the household of John Doe in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA."
Let's you see immediately when she left home and got married.

Hi June,
Interesting question and I'll bet there are others who did not enter
dates.
Most of the Census takers did not work in the winter months.
I use Census for the Event,
Then for the description I put in "1850 Federal"
Then I put in the actual date located at the top of the Census Sheet
Then the location.
So each year is a specific event, which makes searching for a
particular
year Census event easy.
If you have done as I listed above, you might be able to edit the
individual event to include a range of dates:
Sorta like this: 1 Mar 1850 > 31 Nov 1850
This should change each person's information who has a Census record
for
1850.
The other option would be to eliminate the date field.
Hope this helps,
Martha
