I started out using “Census” events, but I am changing over to “Residence” events with the Census record as the source. So I would have 2 “Residence” events, one with 1935 in the date field, and the other with 1940 in the date field, both sourced to the same 1940 Census record (and/or Index thereto).
From: James Cook [mailto:jc1...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 8:21 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] 1940 US Census I think it's important to see facts/events on the time line of their lives, so I create two events - 1940 census event, and a 1935 residence event. I have thought maybe a specific '1935 Residence as Extracted from 1940 Census' event might be a useful, but I can't think of a succinct name I like yet.

Included in this information is the fact that they were living in Orange County Florida on 1st April 1935. I'd like to have an event of some sort to record this, but I think I should say that "On 8th April 1940 they said that they were living in Orange county in 1935", rather than "on 1st April 1935 they were living in Orange County". How do other folk record this data? Is there a standard way to do it? Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Tony 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
