Somehow I have, in the Assigned Source List several Census events (ie they all have the same name - Census). Each event has it's own source - eg 1881 or 1891 etc. How do I get out of this mess? or does it not matter.
The strange thing is all other Events eg birth, death etc. are OK ie Single Event Approach Sorry to be such a pain. Thanks for your patience.

The next event in the list will then be listed with the source(s) assigned to it. Whether you have one event with multiple sources or multiple events with a single source for each depends on your own way of recording things. In the sample file that comes with Legacy each census year is a separate event for a person and the source for each census is assigned to the year to which it applies so there is only one source/event. If you have a Generic Census event then attach sources for the different census years to that source you will have one event and many sources. Here is a possible list for each approach Sample File approach Joe Blogs Assigned sources Census dated 1830 Source for 1830 census Other Event dated 1834 Source for the 1834 event Census dated 1840 Source for 1840 census Census dated 1860 Source for 1860 census Single Census approach Joe Blogs Assigned sources Census Source for 1830 census Source for 1840 census Source for 1840 census Note how there is no date for the census in the second approach since the one event includes all census years.
