How do *you* put in census return details for each individual? Do you add it as a new fact and if so do you then type the line taken from that census after it? EG Fact named as '1861 census' Detail entered 'John Smith Head M 23 Labourer Preston' And is there any facility to input census returns as a whole because I like to see them as family groups not just split per individual. If there's not a way of doing this I think I'll have to set up spreadsheet per surname and have the census returns in that. thanks Sharon (just got FTM 2006 so bound to have loads of Qs!)

Julie, So do you copy and paste the whole return for the whole household or just the line concerning that person? And how do those Notes sections appear, say if you were doing a Genealogy Report? (still got to get my head around all these reports!) Sharon
