I don't think that it is likely to be forgotten, Jerry, as many of us
absolutely agree with you (myself included). Which is why I do not normally
bother with this debate.

How would you respond if the conversation was about Residences sources from
a Census? Would you create an Individual Event or a Marriage Event (or
both?)

I too record the census as an event because it is something that took place
at a specific time and a specific place. I also use the census as a SOURCE
for the specific information on the record (name, date of birth, place of
birth, relationship to others in the family group) but I do not record

For many years, I used the residence and occupation events to capture census
information. After watching Geoff's "Adding a Census Record", I began to

Hi Jerry
You may not have noticed but the Events (in Legacy) has been named
Events/Facts, to highlight that the structure can be used to record

Jerry,
I would just like to remind everyone that although most of us refer to the list
