I just put in my notes, first, the contents of both censuses, and I might note the fact that the birthdate is 2 years apart if I'm using the census as a source on the birthdate. I only do general notes; I don't do separate notes on events. I had the darndest time establishing when my great grandfather was really born, because when he got older, ran out on his wife and remarried (without benefit of divorce), he also made himself consistently around five years younger than he was. So he appeared to be younger than he was even on his death certificate, because he'd evidently told wife 2 every sort of lie and she was the informant on his death certificate. Then there was my aunt's closet full of his naughty light opera... when he remarried he and wife 2 were both living in a house full of opera singers or theater actors or something and I think they all worked at one place.

I entered this as 1792/93 instead of having 2 separate entries for the date. If I have 2 separate entries, sometimes it doesn't show a date at all. And as I discovered yesterday when I tried to "Compare" 2 databases, this date ended up being March 1792 which is not what I meant.
