That's what I do, too. I can then enter "State" in the Description if I have a state census. --Paula

In the Description field I identify US Federal or British. The date I use is the actual enumeration date but just the year would be fine if that is all you want. The Place field is, obviously, the city or township, county and state of enumeration. In the Notes field I record the pertinent information from the census. The Event Definition is set up like so: [HeShe] appeared on the [Desc] census [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] So I end up with a sentence like this: He appeared on the U. S. Federal census on 10 April 1930 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA. [Followed by information transcribed from the census] This way the Event works for any country's census (or state census).

I think I will continue to be a lumper and make one source for each year and put the State and County in the detail. A follow-up question for those who have a census event. Do you have the same "Census" event for all censuses, or do you have different events for each, e.g "1900 US Census", "1881 British Census"? At the moment, since I only have British censuses, I've just used one census event and used the date field to distinguish between them. I'm wondering whether it is worth having one "US Census" event or whether the location will be enough?
