Thanks, Chris, I've been careless about both dates -- I guess someday I'll
get the official date AND go thru all the census returns I've copied and get
the enumeration dates -- for now I'll just try to include those from now on.
Is there a website that lists the enum dates for ALL the US censuses.
All the ancestors I've identified were on this side of the Atlantic before
the Am Rev.
To what extent are there extant censuses for the British Isles, Holland, and
the Germanies before that date?
To what extent digitized and census online?
Are there good websites for locating them??
I really can't think how to Google for this info efficiently!!
Thanks, for any help

I recently decided stop using the built in cenus event and instead created
two new events, Census US and Census UK
For US cenus entries I record:
Description - the age of the person and their relationship
Date: the official census date
Place: the location
Notes: the enumeration date.
For the sentence I setup:
[HeShe] appeared as [Desc] in the US Federal Census of [Date] for
[Place][CR][Notes]
So my great-grandfather his 1860 event reads:
Description: Son, aged 10
Date: 1 Jun 1860
Place: Astoria, Queens, New York, USA
Notes: Recorded 17 Jul 1860
The resulting sentence is:
He appeared as Son, aged 10 in the US Federal Census of 1 Jun 1860 for
Astoria, Queens, New York, USA.
Recorded 17 Jul 1860
When I'm not being lazy I record the actual address at the time of the
sentence as a "residence" event.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Residence (not address) as an Event?
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
