This goes back to preferring to be a lumper or a splitter. It really is personal preference. I like to have my citations mirror the ones in Evidence Explained so for census records I am a splitter. You see how I do it based on how I have them listed in my Master Source List. All entries are Ancestry.com unless I have (FS).
Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Columbia County - 1880 Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Columbia County - 1880 mortality Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Richmond County - 1850 Census Records - Federal - Georgia - Richmond County - 1850 slave Census Records - Federal - Mississippi - Perry County - 1850 Census Records - Federal - Mississippi - Perry County - 1860 Census Records - State - Mississippi - Perry County - 1845 (FS) Census Records - State - Mississippi - Perry County - 1853 (FS) Yes, I have a lot of entries but they are organized in such a way that it makes it very easy for me to find what I am looking for.

I put the state and county info with the other detail info. -----Original Message----- From: Maureen Lake [mailto:arespo...@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2013 12:59 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] US census master source Good morning, I'm just looking for input. How do you handle the US (or any other) census as a master source? It asks you to break it down by locality, state and county. If you are dealing with diverse areas of the country, how do you differentiate the carious localities. Basically I'm wondering if anyone has a more efficient system than mine. For instance, I list the 1880 census for Randolph county, Indiana, as "1880 US census [IN - Randolph]. It makes for a LOT of census entries. Any ideas, suggestions, etc, or am I making the best of an awkward source?
