Such as 1861 England Census, or 1920 US Census, etc. If they are, then you could go to the Event Definition (View > Master Lists > Event Definitions...) and edit your census event for that one instance, and it will change all current events. When you want to start entering events for other years/places, you can create a new Event Definition for that particular situation. I prefer to have just one Event Definition for census entries, and I put the year in the Date field, along with a description of the person from the census data (eg, "10-year-old scholar born in Yorkshire", or "45-year-old weaver"). Once you decide how you're going to handle this, if it's a big job to make the changes you want you can tag everyone using the census event, then as you update your census events for each person to your liking untag them again. Those who are tagged at any time still need work, and are quickly found by searching on that tag - so you can go off and work on other people and come back to your tagged ones any time. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy -- _______________________________________________ LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com
