Roger: I enter a Residence Event for each residence. You can include the date & the full address as part of the Event or in the Notes of the event. When a person moves to another location, I add a new Residence Event with the new date and new address. This becomes part of the individual's chronology or life store as to where that person lived. This information also allows you to Map Family that shows a nice graphic of where the person has lived and events have taken place.
An example using Census information as the source would look like the following: 1900 Jun 20 Residence: USA, IA, Wapello Co, Columbia. 1910 Jul 1 Residence: USA, KS, Cowley Co, Pleasant Valley. 1920 Jan 2 Residence: USA, OK, Kay Co, Vernon. Enjoy!
