Because I would have THOUSANDS of images attached to my file.

Kirsten,
Just out of interest, why do you transcribe the census details rather than
attach the image to your Source Detail?
This is what I do, not only for the reason you give but also because I have
immediate access to the census image should I wish to check something eg a
questionable age for a person.

In the interest of streamlining, I've stopped saving paper and/or digital
images of things that are readily available online. This could be
dangerous
with data found on obscure sites, but I can't imagine that census records
will someday *not* be available in some form. I do, however, put a full
transcription of the family's listing in my source notes.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Digital Images of Census Pages
For the past couple of months, I have been documenting the history of my
family using the Census in the US, Ireland, Scotland, England, etc. I have
used the SourceWriter to document each entry.
For many of my earlier entries and a few of my later entries, I have gone
back to the census and scrolled to the appropriate page and found the data
quickly. This tells me that my source details pass the test of
"findability."
Now I am wondering if it is worth the effort to make a digital copy of
each
census record to include with each reference to the census document in
Resident, Occupation, Emigration, and Religion Events.
How would you professionals answer this query?
Dave
