Toni, I enter the census data once in the source information. Then I enter the pertinent information (not data) as events: occupation, residence - cited the source. I generally enter the residence for the marriage / head of household and "four sons lived at home" or something. When a son moves out and is found on another census, he gets his own residence event. I've played around a bit with the sentences, too. My choices are driven by my desire for a report that reads nicely for the average family member/ relative, not pages full of data for the detailed analyst (even if I am both of those). So, I would put the house # etc in the residence event. --Paula
I have been pondering where to record the 'house no, street address' information. I notice that most often 'location' does not refer to individual addresses but only to the higher levels (e.g. town, county, country). I've decided I want the 'house no, street address' not in the source reference but more accessible and if I exclude 'location' then I am left with a choice of event description, event notes or event address. Another alternative is a 'residence' event. Which do you think is best and why? TIA.
