>>> The vast majority of my Censuses are England and Wales and I don't find
>>> the new fields in Source Details match up terribly well with what I want

>>>
>>> The given fields are as follows:
>>>
>>> Collection or Database
>>> Jurisdiction County
>>> Page
>>> Dwelling No
>>> Family
>>> Column
>>>
>>> Collection or Database seems superfluous and I am happy to ignore it.
>>> Jurisdiction County is ok, but what about Civil Parish and/or
>>> Registration District and/or Sub-Registration District and/or
>>> Enumeration District? Page is good. Rather then Dwelling No or Family,
>>> in England and Wales we have a Household Schedule No. This could be
>>> entered in one of those fields, but the words "Dwell" and "Fam" are
>>> included in the Citation if those fields are used. Column is not
>>> relevant.
>>>
>>> Then there are the Class, Piece and Folio numbers which are very
>>> important finding aids for any English or Welsh Census entry. My "old"
>>> way of entering Source Details for a Census was to enter, for example,
>>> HO107-2489-486-4, which is the full Class-Piece-Folio- Page reference.
>>> I am now entering that reference in the Page field, so in the Citation
>>> it reads "p HO107-2489-486-4" which I can live with.
>>>
>>> I was not in the habit of including the County, CP, RD, ED or Household
>>> No and I could carry on not doing so, but I wonder what others do,
>>> especially now that I see what the Goddess of Sourcing expects!
