Thank you, Bob and Cathy. I had a whole different idea of what you were saying. Marie

I meant that I have only one entry in my event list that is called Census (so I don't have to duplicate event definitions), not that each individual has only one event called Census. They have as many Census events as times I found them in a census. I see that Cathy has already sent an example, so I don't have to!

I use just one Event named Census and then the census date is placed in the date field and the census description becomes the source.> Hi Bob, Whether entering separate Census Events is overkill depends upon how one wants to view and understand information. Taking a very difficult to find person, listing each thing I know about them chronologically, then adding anything I learn, reading and rereading it has helped me move forward with research for that person. One of the features I appreciate about Legacy is the view that lists event chronologically. I therefore want each census to be listed in proper time sequence and, from what I understand, I need to enter each separately under the appropriate date the census was taken to view that person's information in that manner. Can that happen if I list all census records as an event? Am I missing some wonderful trick here?

Other programs (PAF5 and TMG5) allow you to "copy" an event definition then make any necessary changes. It seems that in Legacy you must create a "blank" event and then copy and paste each sentence line (8 in all). This is rather time consuming if I want to create 7 census events for UK and an additional 15 or more of the US. I can't believe there isn't a quicker way. But perhaps there isn't....
