[LegacyUG] Census Dates
I have appreciated the different ideas about what date to use for Census data in Events. And I have to agree with what John shared as that is what I do. I record the date the Enumerator was at the door. I have many instances of children and other family members being in 'two places at once' which would occur if I used the 'official date'. Thanks to all for sharing.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates
In general, that is the correct answer. 1841 is the earliest census available to the general public. However, there are the odd survivals from earlier censuses. For example, there is a transcription of the 1831 census for the Essex village of Steeple Bumpstead. -- Regards, Mike Fry (mobile) -Original Message- From: "Steve Hayes" Sent: 2016-04-09 04:26 To: "Legacy User Group" Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates On 9 Apr 2016 at 10:33, Helen McCall wrote: > I'm confused - I thought the first census was 1841.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates
Thanks Cathy I will try that. I did try the other way but it didn’t work so will have a go at this. If unsuccessful – then will just slowly go through them and make the change.

Thanks Wendy - sounds like this will work.

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

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates
I put my census in under events as follows:Use "Census" as EventFor Description I use "Household of John Doe"Date: Just year of censusLocation: Location By adding the household name under description, it prints a nice sentence on your family group sheet like:"She was listed on the 1930 census in the household of John Doe in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA." Let's you see immediately when she left home and got married.

Most of the Census takers did not work in the winter months. I use Census for the Event, Then for the description I put in "1850 Federal" Then I put in the actual date located at the top of the Census Sheet Then the location. So each year is a specific event, which makes searching for a particular year Census event easy. If you have done as I listed above, you might be able to edit the individual event to include a range of dates: Sorta like this: 1 Mar 1850 > 31 Nov 1850 This should change each person's information who has a Census record for 1850. The other option would be to eliminate the date field.
