Thanks Lill Ann
Plenty to think about there, I knew I'd regret asking the question! I thought I tried playing with the address roladex, but it didn't seem to do what I wanted. Perhaps the problem was I 'played' with it.
Following on then, do you know if there is a way to include the addresses linked to events on generated web pages. I can see the option on the decendant report, but not on web page generation?
Regards
Steve

This subject comes up fairly regularly. There are two trains of thought.
1. Census is an event 2. Census is a source of information
I use the #2 approach with the main event being "residence" that included the
address/location of the person/family. If there is a specific street and house number,
I place that in the address rolodex for the residence event. The year of the census is
in the year field, the location in the place field. I sometimes include relevant
information in the description field. Such as, they were a lodger in the home of .....
Occupation(s) is/are also added based on the census data. I also include any AKA's.
If the census is for a family, I enter the residence in the marriage events of the
couple and include a residence event for each of the children who are living at home.
Since the major part of my research is in Norway, living in a different location
frequently means a name change.
