    3. Hi Pat, I will answer your original questions about Reunion and if you have any further questions, contact me privately as this discussion can quickly go "off topic" from Wise County, On the Events panel, there is a button "Add Event." I have used this to add the event, "Census," for each year that the person was alive and entered the information about where I found that census - State, County, Census District, Enumeration District, Page No., etc. This will help you trace the person's locations throughout a lifetime and also let you know where the holes are in tracing him/her. Then I also create a source citation for the census and attach the source to birth, name, occupation, etc., anywhere I have used the information, mining the census information for all I can get. That let's me know where I found each piece of information. Another place I will put the information is in the Notes panel, again putting the location information and put a listing of the whole family and their information (copy and paste - don't keep retyping). Put the information from the different censuses in chronological order. This has been most useful because I can open that panel and see who was in the family at different times. I refer to this often. It's also possible to get the census image and attach it under Multimedia. I usually don't do this since finding the census page again online is pretty easy. Look at the "Add Event" button on the events panel and you will see a great variety of events that can be added - that will help you organize the information that you have. The Notes section is infinite in what it can hold, limited only by the size of your hard drive. Originally I tried to shorten and abbreviate what I put in Notes until I learned about the unlimited capability. You will love Reunion and all it can do.

I have been reading the manuel, but I am still unsure of the proper places for some things. So I have some questions!! I begin to fill out my card for my Dad. I have placed his birth, death etc with no difficulty. Now I want to include the SOURCE of his life and RESIDENCES by showing the Census Records I have taken from Wise, Co. and Ancestry.com. Do I attach the Census Records to his birth? That is the only record I have of his birth. Or is there another place it would be better to show? I have Census Records from 1910, 1920 and 1930. Where would you add the WWI Applications? Notes? Flags? I would like to show my places of Education, from First through College, where do they go? My guess is notes, but they are longer than a couple of lines. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Pat Lefors Dawson ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to TXWISE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
