If I understand it correctly when citing a Census, the citation
includes the name of the person ("ID of Person" in Legacy) and that
means each family member's name would be listed separately for the
source assigned to them. Since each different citation shows up as a
separate source in the endnotes, if there's a family of 10, then
there would be 10 separate citations in the endnotes for that single
Census. This would add up for 3 or 4 or more Census' per family.
Is it appropriate to just enter in the "ID of Person" field just the
head of household's name (i.e. John Smith Family) for all citations
of that Census rather than each individual's name when assigning that
Census to each family member listed on the Census?
In other words for the 1850 Census for John Smith's family, instead
of listing Sally Smith on the Detail Source for her, Jim Smith on
his, John Smith on his, etc, would it be appropriate to list "John
Smith Family" as the "ID of Person" on the Detail Source for all
family members resulting in one citation in the endnotes?
