I'm not sure this is relevant to your particular issue, but I have an
event
entitled "Also living in household"
and then in description I put in the person's name, age, sex, race,
relationship (boarder, servant, cook, mother-in-law or whatever), and any
other info. Mostly this comes from the census so for date I put in the
census year and for location whatever I can get from the census. If the
person is a relative and hence in my database I go to his/her edit screen
and add the event "Living" and in Description "with son-in-law John Doe's
family" and give the date and location as above.
Pat
