[LegacyUG] Census Dates

[Martha Graham]

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.

Easy enough if you have a separate Event for each Census: simply modify the 
Sentence so it includes 05 April 1891 (or whichever) in place of .

Personally, I have one Event named "England Census" (and one for "England 
Census - Vessels" but that's beside the point!) but I keep a permanent list of 
the Census dates, and other frequently used text, in a little program called 
FreeClip which I *highly* recommend.  It saves me hours of time in data entry.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates

[Jane Linkswiler]

I'll have to take a look at FreeClip. I recently discovered Notepad for this
kind of purpose and have all sorts of lists and notes in Notepad files on my
Google Drive. I'm still pleased everytime think about it and wish I had
thought of it a dozen years ago. Or more.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates

[Mike Fry]

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.

You don't. The returns were destroyed after statistical data had been

Yes, but the question was not what the date is.

The question was how to get LEGACY to automatically put the date in for 
everyone who appeared in the English 1891 census. 

Perhaps the question needs to be clarified a bit. I am not sure if the OP was 
asking for Legacy to create a census event for people, or to calculate a date 
of birth.

Sorry I should have said English. For example I have several hundred people
where I have entered details of the 1891 UK Census but have not put the date
in. I like to have the date as it then calculates age and puts events in
order.



At the moment I am going through each person individually, checking if they
have the 1891 census, then bringing it up and putting in the date.



I was hoping there would be a way to go to the Master event list of
something and put in the date so that when I close it it will put the date
in everyone who has that event.

June,

Are you talking American Censuses where the date is different for each entry
or English censuses where the date is the same for a census year?

If the latter, you can make the process faster by creating a search list for
the Event and then using the Repeat function of clicking on the date label
to enter the actual date.

[LegacyUG] Census Dates

[Ken]

Just google
UK Census dates
and voila!

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates

Sorry I should have said English. For example I have several hundred people 
where I have entered details of the 1891 UK Census but have not put the date 
in. I like to have the date as it then calculates age and puts events in order.

 

At the moment I am going through each person individually, checking if they 
have the 1891 census, then bringing it up and putting in the date.

 

I was hoping there would be a way to go to the Master event list of something 
and put in the date so that when I close it it will put the date in everyone 
who has that event.

 

Thanks – June

June,

Are you talking American Censuses where the date is different for each entry or 
English censuses where the date is the same for a census year?

If the latter, you can make the process faster by creating a search list for 
the Event and then using the Repeat function of clicking on the date label to 
enter the actual date.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates

[June]

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.

 

Kind regards - June

June,
To get the age calculated and the order right in the chronology, you have to 
have the date in the date field, so other work around solutions won't work.
I've found a way using Search and Replace to replace a blank date field but I 
don't think you're going to get enough information on the screen to be able to 
decide if it's one you want to fill or not. You're just told it's a census. 
If you did an Event report just for census (From View - Master Lists - Event 
... - tag Census and do the report for only tagged events) that would help 
unless you'd entered more than one census for the person. Save the report as a 
pdf so you can search it to check as you do the search and replace. It may be 
quicker.

Anyway, in case you can use it,
Search > Search and Replace
Find where: Dates-Event
Find what: [don't enter anything]
Replace with: 5 Apr 1891

It tells you which Event it's found with a blank date so you can skip those 
that aren't Census and check those that are Census.

Hi June,

Are all your Census Events - as entered at the moment - for the same Census
(ie country/state/whatever) and year?  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

I now have hundreds of entries I would like to put the dates on but it's
taking ages doing them individually.

Is there a way I can edit the event and put the date in so that it will
apply to all those entries in my file.

I've looked at the help file but with had no luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Dates

[sarahlange]

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.

 Hi June,
 Interesting question and I'll bet there are others who did not enter 
 dates.

 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.

 Hope this helps,
 Martha
