I don't have an "ID of Person" field in my census event details. The event
fields available are: Event, Description, Date, Place. These are the same
fields available for every event.

Subject: [LegacyUG] A Census Detail Question...
This is another one of those "What do others tend to do?" questions.
I like to get my census event details pretty exact. When I am filling in
the detail info, and come to the "ID of Person" field, I'm not entirely
sure whose name to fill in.
I know that in the US censuses from 1840 on back, I can only use the head
of household name. Am I correct in continuing to use that for 1850
forward? Or should I be using the name of the person for whom I am
recording the event? I'm thinking mainly of the cases where an ancestor
works in the household of someone to whom they are not related.
What is the SOP?
Thanks in advance,
Roxanne Baird
