The way I enter census data is to make the Event says 'Census', then the
date and location in the Description/Place/Notes field. You don't have
to have Events print out as sentences. You can also have them as a list
in point form. I believe printing a Location report involves the
locations as they exist in the Master Location list. Since all the
locations entered in your database, in any appropriate location fields,
are in there, it would automatically print them. If you put the
location of the census in the Desc/Places/Notes field, it will be
included in your Location Report.

Thanks--there are probably 100 or so records I would have to change, but,
frankly, I'm fast. You're right about the wording being strange...I think I
know how to make it read better. As is, if I have a three-year-old in a
certain township, the report reads "He owned a residence at..."
The only reason I could think of to change them all would be for something I
might want to do with the Location field--for example, if I want to print
the locations at the end of a report, it would pull all those "residence"
locations, too, wouldn't it? That could be good or bad, I guess....
I'm thinking I will go ahead and change all (I'm making a big deal out of
this, because I'm trying to understand/clean up all the records that came in
from FTM when I imported, and hope I am confident on how to enter data
before I add any new records), and then try to change the wording.
Thanks,
Barbara

Barbara,
There is nothing really wrong with that arrangement, although you may have
to change the sentence wording for it to read properly (having changed it on
mine I'm not sure what the default wording is!).
My own arrangement is:
Name: Residence
Description: census
Date: eg 1881
Location: Full Address
Details of the census are contained in the Source.
I don't know how many records you have but if it is quite a lot I'd be
sorely tempted to leave it providing it can be made to read OK.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Residence (not address) as an Event?
Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 18:27:38 -0600
In Family Tree Maker, I used the Residence event as the place where I
recorded census information. It came into Legacy like this: For
example, I might have an event named Residence, and in the description
it might say Hickory Township, Carroll County, Arkansas, USA. The date
would be the year of the census, say 1850. The Location field is blank.
Should I have a different procedure--is that where the census
information goes, or should I put it somewhere else? If I leave
Residence as an Event, should I delete what is now in Description and
put it in the Location field of the event?
Thanks,
Barbara
