Michele,
As Jenny said, create a custom Fact/Event. Please open the Individual's
Information screen. The heading for the section under Birth, Death, etc. is
titled "Events/Facts". You are right, Race and Etnicity are not Events but
they are FACTS.

You need to be careful not to confuse place of birth and race. I have
friends that were born in and their families lived several generations in Africa
but are Caucasians, and others that are black but lived in Asia. You can

But it's a "fact" note the list is titled Events/Facts.
Not everything in the census is in Legacy - and don't forget, the
census records from other countries probably have different
information than those in the US. Plus each US census is different.
There aren't fields for schooling, literacy
No problem there. I call the person's race whatever the document says they are
at that time period. In the case of the marriage it would be colored. On his
WWI draft card he was black. I can't find him in the census records so who
knows there.

I could make an event but that would be weird. Your race isn't an event in

Unless you have scrolled from 1 to 15275, you don't KNOW if every number is
there. You may have deleted (accidently) someone in the past, explaining the
count difference. Happened to me. I found my error, and gave up trying to 'fix'
the count.
