If you use the Event Clipboard you can copy the Event and its source(s) and paste both to anyone with a single click.

Look for the copy to clipboard icon on the Event edit window, just below the column of buttons on the right. The copy is the icon with 2 pages, the past is the icon which looks like a clipboard with a piece of paper.

NOTE: Never copy an event to the clipboard then delete the event. The Event clipboard uses a pointer to the event so if the event is deleted the clipboard will not have anything to paste.

I use this all the time to add census events to every member of the family. I create the census once for the head of household then paste it, with the census source to all the other family members.

I would like to enter an event and be able to add that EXACT event to other people say for a census with 8 people in the household.
Take an event like:
Residence
22 Broadway
4 Apr 1920
New York City, New York County, New York, USA
Attach exactly to:  father, mother, daughters, sons, grandchildren, grandmother, etc. with the same modified event sentence. Current, I copy the event and go to each person’s page and enter it separately.  Even if I could copy the event and then select a list for it to attach to, it would save time. I have looked at shared events but they change my sentences and put in extraneous items I don’t want.  I tried to make it work for me but couldn’t.
