Mine is similar to Michele's, except I organize them geographically: Missouri, Howell - census 1900 (Ancestry) Missouri, Howell - census 1910 (Ancestry) Missouri, Howell - census 1920 (Ancestry)
And so on. One could have several sources for the same census, in which case it would look like this: Missouri, Howell - census 1880 (Ancestry) Missouri, Howell - census 1880 (HeritageQuest) Missouri, Howell - census 1880 (NARA microfilm) Because the source name is only for my use, I do not add the detail about Federal census in the name. I only add that distinction if it is NOT a federal census: Kansas, Rawlins - census 1875, state (Ancestry) It is very much a matter of personal preference and ease. I like to see all of my sources for one county grouped together, rather than all of my census grouped together.
