Mike: This borders on the classic "lumper or splitter" issue (see list archives), and there is no one *right* way. Your master source structure is the key. Some users create separate master sources for each census year, others break them down by state or province, many break them down by county. Then, using the appropriate master source, you do list the individual(s) in the detail. Personally, I list all family members together in a single citation. If there are two related families on a single page, I list both in a single citation to illustrate the proximity. Doing a separate source citation for each individual in a family would be a major chore and, I think, would destroy the picture of the family structure.

Thomas Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 8:40 AM To: LegacyUserGroup Subject: [LegacyUG] Sources I would like to do things right. My question deals with the census. Do I create a for each census and then just edit the source details for each person, and how do you cite all the people on the same page like the families?
