If it's already attached as a source to the residence, I really don't see a point in duplicating efforts. I never noticed there being an obituary event in Legacy. Would that be an indication that we should be adding obituaries as an event? Not that I will.
I did this early on when I started using genealogy software and occasionally I still find those remnants and delete them. If your genealogy instructor was arguing in favor of adding the census as an event, and couldn't explain reasons why, he must have looked pretty foolish in front of the class. If I were him, I think I would have remained silent on that topic. His inexperience was showing that day. ------- Bill Boswell -----Original Message----- From: BG Johnson [mailto:b...@brmemc.net] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 5:04 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Obituary as Event? Bill, I agree. I did the same thing you did. Before I quit using a census as an event, I argued the point with my genealogy instructor at the local community college. He uses it as an event but could not come up with a reason to do so. If you are recording the residence event at the time of the census and use the census as a source, what does a census event add? Again, as many have said, "Whatever works for you is the correct way to go". bgj Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
