Like Linda in the previous message, for Census records I think I am a splitter i.e. one Master source for each household (location) for each appropriate year. My system is based on that each census return is a piece of data associated to a location, with this in mind I record the location and then extend the format to record the actual Census, For example - A Location is recorded - Location = Burslem (11 Bag Street), Staffordshire, England Short Name Location = 11 Bag Street, Burslem The element in the brackets is usually the Street name and number. A Census Return (for the same location) is then recorded - Source List Name = Burslem (11 Bag Street), Staffordshire - UK Census 1861 >From the Legacy Master List for both Locations and Master Source I can readily see the appropriate entry alphabetically and in the case of Census information the date. In addition I find that the method is quick, simple to set up and easy to use by just using the "copy and paste" facility. I have not completed an entry for an ancestor from the USA as yet, but I would be looking at adopting the same approach. I may review my system when I have had a look at "Source Writer" in version 7. For the time being I would welcome thoughts and observations on the above from the user group.
