Bruce:
I make separate paper copies with each's MRIN and file in their
family file, save separate copies of the Census on the computer also
using each's MRIN (the computer name and the paper document name are
the same so easy to cross reference) and I create a separate "Source"
on the Master Source list for each person's Census event". Bottom
line I duplicate the Census everywhere so there's a separate record
for each family. This makes it easy to find and orgainzed.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks!
Another question with regards to census. I can see doing it exactly as
you state if there is only one household that I'm interested in on the
sheet/document. But, what about if there are two? Say Bob and Pete
Smith are brothers and each have a family and they live next door to
each other and appear on the same census page? Would you just
duplicate it and have one labeled with the MRIN for Bob and the other
labeled for the MRIN for Pete?
Or, should I make this census record a Master Source document?
Appreciating your help,
Brian
