Thanks for that information Cathy but it still won't work because with
Chinese names you use both the generation name and given name together. So
for John his name is Chan Chung Sing - people talking to him would call him
Chung Sing, although family members might use Sing as a diminutive, but only
Thank you Cathy - your suggestions have been very helpful.

Art,
This is what the Residence Event is for. Whenever I find a new address for
someone then I add a Residence event with at least the date and Location
included. In the description I would add things like census, birth, son's
birth etc (or leave blank) as appropriate.

Another question though - If I have 10 pieces (for example birth
certificate, army records, several census records, marriage records
etc) is it common practice to put all of these records in.
You might not want to use all 10 documents as a source for the same

With regard to census reports ? many many of my families are large and
when I find them on the 1841 census (for example) I enter the
information on everyone?s file, then when I come to 1851, 1861 etc I
do the same so obviously there is a lot of duplication if I do a book
report.

With siblings, this is easiest done by placing one in the main position
in Family View and then clicking in between the main couple to go to
the next sibling of the highlighted individual.
That's brilliant - I didn't know you could do that!

Hi Jenny,
I should have added - a right click in the same place takes you
backwards through the list of siblings.
Do you know you can click to the side of a spouse to cycle through
their spouses? and to the side of parents to bring up another set of
parents when there is more than one set?
I suspect every person has their own standard way of entering the data.
I try to always transcribe the whole entry for the household into the
source, unless it is a very large household or institution. Sometimes it
can be useful in the future to be able to refer back to a lodger, boarder
etc as
I would put in a residence event for each address (and for each person
who lived there) with the year. I have 15 addresses for my father's
family in 10 years -- I think my grandfather was trying to avoid the
rent man.

Another option Art, if you don't know exactly what years were in what

overall years in that town, and under notes list the various street

Also, if you RIGHT click between the main couple in Family View you go

I have to admit that I stopped reading these posts long ago, as I was
tired of the thread. But today I discovered one of the best reasons
for people to do splitting of sources, rather than lumping (which is
my favorite way of doing it). This may have been already raised, and
if so, I apologize
That's the point, Pat. You need to start with that first child, and
now they come up to the main family view. You add the event to that
person, save that person, then do the click between that person and
the spouse. Open the next sibling that appears, enter the event (using

Yeah, I'm a splitter that (99% of the time) records my Source Detail within
the Publication Facts. It was a mistake I made when I first started
