Hi I have been using Legacy for about 4 years but have only just joined this mailing list. I have been recording census results as events with the all the details recorded as notes. However I have also recorded any given residence and occupation as separate events.
1 For occupations having recorded the full census date the wording comes out rather unwieldy in reports e.g. "He worked as a Brewer on 03 Apr 1881" Obviously you cannot deduce that he was actually working on the census date. Would it be better to just enter the year? 2 I am working with English census returns. Pupils are recorded as scholars and again I have used the occupation event to record this fact but "working as a Scholar" in a report doesn't sound correct. Would an overiding comment such as "He was described as a scholar in the 1881 Census" sound better. 3 Should I just stop adding occupations separateley as they have already been recorded in the census notes. I realize the choice is mine but would welcome your views.
