First choice to try. Each source has a choice to print every time or first time. I transcribe the census into the source text, using the above choice. Because I have censues in about 10 countries, and also the USA, I use code names for events CenE1881 means the 1881 census fro England, CenA1891 means the 1891 from Australia, and CenC1871 means the 1871 for Canada. I have created the companion categories in the TO DO list. I then Create a census source labeled as : NS, Kings County, Berwick 1871 Canadian Census. This way I choose which Sources I want to print, and all include the transcripts attached once. I also put at each instance of a Source, either a transcrpt of the actual line entry, or a note as to what is seen there. Then on the same page I can add notes to explain what the census record actually says. This is only one way of doing it. Rich in LACA

At the moment I am adding Master Sources for things like 1881 Census, 1891 Census, etc as well as Birth Certficate, Marriage Certficate, etc. I am using these against individuals but not adding details and when I produce Descendancy reports I get a nice source table shown each one, once only, and of course the sourec indicators against the individuals are simple to follow. If I put details against the source when adding to an individual I will get the 1881 Census appearing some 30 times, 1891 nearly 40 times, etc. As for Birth Certificates that would then appear some 100+ times and would rival the Names Index. It would be nice to be able to put in the details but limit (as an option) the Source Index in reports to the Master Level only. Any views?
