Re: [LegacyUG] Recording census records as a event,am I doing it right?
Yes the Repeat is useful when you only want some of the previously entered Event. If you want the lot, including the Source, then the Event Clipboard/Copy and Paste the entire event is much quicker.

Thanks for the hint on using the Repeat button. I had never noticed it (or thought what it might do).

Re: [LegacyUG] Recording census records as a event,am I doing it right?
I have created hundreds of Census Events, using the Event clipboard. This keeps the time keypunching to a minimum.

Re: [LegacyUG] Recording census records as a event,am I doing it right?
I like using Legacy because "most times" there isn't just one right way - it's what works for each of us. I like to record each year's census records as a source for a particular name. I have the specific location and actual date written on the census page to gauge birth/death/marriage dates. Each person in the household is recorded with age and occupation, place of birth and place of birth of parents. I can quickly see who might have died or married, and the locations to which the family members moved. I usually list "unknown/unrecognized" additional people in the household under the detail for the head-of-house. Frequently they are connected to the family in some way I just haven't discovered. Only problem I've come up with putting such notes in the "detail text" source field is that I haven't found a way to search for a specific person in the source text. Using the clipboard makes it fairly simple, particularly when there is a large number of family members. I only have to enter the individual "text details". Enjoy the program - it sure is the best one I've used since I switched from DOS to Windows!! Judy been using Legacy for awhile and Im wondering wether im doing it right?

Re: [LegacyUG] Recording census records as a event,am I doing it right?
Hi Stuart, Entering Census Events is time consuming but well worth it. I enter a census event for everyone for each relevant census. I put a full transcription in the source and in the Head of household's event. I use the Event Clipboard to copy to other members of the household. That way the Source Detail is not changed at all and so only prints once in a report. If you decide you don't want the Census Event in a particular report, you can make the Event Private in the Event Definition before running the report and don't include Private events.

RE: [LegacyUG] Recording census records as a event,am I doing it right?
In my view, there is no "wrong" way Stuart. I don't have the census as an event. My events are things like Residence, Occupation etc. (ie the details of the census). The census is the source and I attach each to each of the events. I use the Source Clip Board as I always find it much the fastest way of doing things. There is nothing to stop you using it for the way you enter the details either.

RE: [LegacyUG] Recording census records as a event,am I doing it right?
I guess technically you could say that you are doing it "right" if it is the way you want it recorded. There are many ways to record things and everyone has his or her preference. I record the censuses as events in the way described on the training video, which sounds similar to what you are doing, a different event for each year and household. I write it out once, listing everyone in the household and then use the event clipboard to copy and paste it to an event for everyone listed. I like the way it then shows in the chronology tab. I am not sure where else you would record the UK censuses, I do those the same way, it shows where an individual was at a given time.
