I'd go along with this - it's easy to see from the individual screen
just what you do know about a person. As nearly everyone I add is long
dead, their 'pattern of migration' be it from one village to another or
one country to another is plain to see.

I take a Census Event - and make it both a Residence EVent and (if
possible) an occupation event. I then make the Census Event
"private". Reports seem a lot "friendlier" showing where someone
lived and what they did rather than all of that other data that comes
with a census. I use the Census as
I used to do it that way too, and only changed because I saw it done the
other way by some-one more experienced. Does that make it right? Don't
know. I would hardly call a visitor from the census-taker 'an event'.
That's like notating every time the phone rings. Even I am not that
organized.

Hello, great Legacy User's Group Helpers,
Before I learned that there was a Census Event, I put all occurrences in the
Census as Residence Events. Is there a significant difference between using
the Census Event vs the Residence Event?
Thanks for your input.

can now start to make sense of my mess and how to correct it before V7 comes

Many thanks

a few things (like a census) which can sort-of be both - but residence isn't

Interesting idea - if I understand - it might happen that you have
MANY residence events for a single person. I lived in three places in
less that 1 year (just for an example). So if I found evidence for
each location - each would be a different residence event? I have

I also do not use Census events. I list all items from a census to
appropriate events: name, residence, birth, occupation, education,
real estate, etc and use the census as a source. So if I see a
residence for 1920, for example, I can easily see what the source is,
whether it's a census or dir
