I think there would be too much information and it would either overflow the
little box/area used for description when printing a FAMILY Group Record or it
might force the little box so far that it would corrupt the date field. I have
had problems (see archives) with the date field when trying to print out the
Family Group Report. Everything looks good on the computer screen but doesn't
always dprint out that way. The problem involve trying to use a date like
"from 1884-Jan 1886" or "between 1884-Jan 1886". The Report would print out
okay if I changed it to read 1884-1886 but then to compensate for the now
missing information I had to find another place to add the reason for the Jan
1886 date. Not a great problem. It appears that the boxes under the Family
Group Report have a "normal" for the program setting and all BUT the Date
column will expand to some degree if the information contained is longer than
what the program is designed for. Hope you follow this, I can't find a better
way to explain it.

Why not use the (empty) description field for the Roll, Page & Image info?

I followed the advice of a very active and knowledgable local
Legacy user (and member of this group) when I first started using
Legacy about a year ago. She suggested that she used the notes
section under EVENTS for displaying the census information, i.e.
She added the full information for all parties shown in the
census for the "Head of Household", continuing that way for each
census year the main party was found (in the case above, Robert
Marshall). As the children broke off and were found elsewhere,
they then became the head of their own household (even if single)
and had the full information listed under their name.
If you could look at my database, you would see that after I have
entered all this information under the "Head of Household", under
the EVENTS notes for each individual in the census information
(in this case, Mary and all the children), I have listed ONLY the
information found for that individual.
PROs to this method: I have the full information at my
fingertips when I do research and don't have to look under the
scattered SOURCES. My database if designed for my optimal
research capabilities, NOT for conciseness. It also enables
anyone looking at my database to see the information at a glance.
This method had enabled me to find several pieces of information
that I was missing and couldn't find until I set the database up
this way. The census information prints out in chronological
order immediately below the name and general information for the
individual in the Family Group Record which I use most often.
CONs you have a lot of sources, which I don't mind at all; I use
the "ibid" feature to cut down on some of them. Not all Legacy
reports will set up this way; I wish I could get the Descendant
Report to set up like the Family Group Report, for instance. It
doesn't even allow Sources unfortunately - bad mistake in MHO.

I am interested in seeing your census templates, if you don't
mind sharing
with me also.
I have really been struggling with this one. I find myself
putting to much
info in the SOURCE.
thanks
