I have been recording the basic US Census data using the "Notes" section within the "Census" event in Legacy 9.0 and get the usual formatted 
sentence, "He appeared in the ... ", in my reports.  Additionally, I write a narrative based upon observations taken from this census data.  Some of these 
narratives are several paragraphs long.   I created a "Census Narrative" event for this purpose that lists the census date and a formatted sentence that I 
created.  The event definition for "if only date filled" is:  "The following narrative interpretation may be written from data recorded on the [Date] 
Census sheet. [CR], [Notes].  I insert written narrative in the "Notes" section of the event.  Unfortunately, I cannot get the actual narrative that is 
inserted into the "Notes" section of the event to appear in reports. All I get is the sentence "The following narrative interpretation may be written 
from data recorded on the [Correct date] Census sheet."

What am I doing wrong?  Is there a better method for adding my census date 
narratives to an individual?

Your method is not the same as mine, but if it suits your purposes I see nothing wrong with it.

As regards the Notes, have you ticked the "Add Event Notes" option for Reports? From the Report Options screen select the Include tab then click the Event Options button and look under Other Options.
