Your question implies that you have one Master Source for every single household in a Census. This is OK if it works for you, but not what most of us would recommend. I have one Master Source for each country each year (England 1841, Wales 1841, Scotland 1841 etc) and all the specifics go into the Source Details. I just enter 5 & 6 into the Page field. It sometimes happens that a family is split between 2 pages which are 2 consecutive folios. In those case I enter 5 & 6 into the Page field and 123 & 124 into the Folio field, but I then use Override to change the wording to "folio 123, page 5 & folio 124, page 6." Incidentally, I don't enter each person's name in the ID of Person field unless the household includes only 1 person. I write "household of Joe Bloggs" so the citation is identical for everyone in the household. -- Jenny M Benson Jenny, I don't use that field at all, but then I do not have a Census Event, but use the census to source other events. Hence the census source is always linked to Events for specific individuals.
