Thanks, Connie. I like your Event definition better than mine. I
think I will combine this with Elizabeth's suggestion to put more
stuff in To Do's and research notes.
Thanks again,
Melody

Hi Melody,
I DO use this as a method to keep track of people and where they are or not
counted in the census years. I use the wording of census rather than
residence, but both amounts to basically the same thing...
I have an event which is listed as 'NOT listed in census' which the event
definition is: [GivenName] was [EventName] of [Date] with the family
[~inPlace]. [Notes]. [Sources]...
Which basically will read in reports as:
Mary Ann was NOT listed in census of 1860 with the family in Mt. Pulaski,
Logan Co., IL.
She would have been age 7 in this census. I don't find her living with any
of her older grown siblings who have left the household, nor with other
known relative or family friends. Per her mother Elizabeth's obituary one of
the younger female children of Paul and Elizabeth (Mary Ann's parents) died
in a buggy accident in 1858. It is possible it might have been Mary Ann.
Further research is required to confirm.
I find this 'event' to be a handy research tool...
