I do it that way, too, John.

Some of my "old ways" I've changed because of the videos, LUG, the instruction book and the Help files. However, I continue to do one thing that works for me: I do not use a "census" event. Nor do I use a "Tax list" event; nor a "City Directory" event. I use a "Residence" event - it's important to me to know who lived where, when. Thus, I use the "description" field to enter Census, tax list, city directory, etc. Just my way.

In the training video by Legacy, Geoff explains how to use Events, but in the two examples he enters the Event Definition and leaves the Description blank. And the help file gives no real clue or example of what kind of information you would put in that field. Could ya'll give me some examples of what you put in there? Like for a Census event it would seem redundent to but census, or the place or date beacuse they are listed in other fields. So what would you put there?
