I also have census records with several families on them. I just make a
copy for each one. It would not work at all to put 3 or 4 different
MRIN's on the same document.
This is also an issue on birth certificates I've found where's there's
as many as 9 of my relatives on the same page. I make a copy for each
and file them by MRIN's as usual.

Thanks to all of you who have replied to my initial question. I've
learned a couple of things from you about this. Among other things,
I didn't know there was such a thing as IrfanView until now. (I'll
take a look at it & appreciate your pointing it out to me.) And I'll
admit I hadn't considered pasting one image into the area next to
another and saving the whole thing as one image. That's obviously a
good workaround to having two separate census images for one family.
For those of you who include reference to the specific head-of-house
in the image file name and/or begin the file name with a couple's MRIN
number, I have another question: what do you do about naming images
of census pages which have two or more individual families, and
therefore, two or more MRINs on them? These are not members of the
same household, but they are all people in my database; sometimes they
are not actually kin to each other, but are only kin to mutual
people. I also have multiple instances of my gg-grandparents in one
household, two doors down are my g-grandparents, and next door is a
sibling to my g-gp with his/her family. The three families aren't
living together, they're living close to one another. Do you have
duplicates of the same image, each with a name that reflects this
head-of-household or each couple's MRIN? Or, are you picking out one
family of the three and naming the census image with that one
head-of-house or one couple's MRIN in it and then referencing that
number for all the rest, even though they aren't in the same actual
household???
I expect I'm being dense here. Sorry, but I'd like a little more
clarification on how others do this.
Thanks again! You're all great!
