GenerationGoneBy 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I have always wanted a census report like the one below, so that I could keep up with each person's census data and easily print it out. With TMG, I can now have such a report. It takes a while to set up, but once you do, it is fairly easy to maintain. Here are the basic directions. First you need to create a new language called Tabular (or census or whatever you want to call it) This will allow you to keep your usual census sentences, and also have the sentence structure to create this report, without having to create a second tag. First thing I had to do for each census tag is create new roles. I wanted each person to have a separate role, so that their data would print on a separate line in the report. Remember if you do this, you will need to add those new roles to your current ENGLISH language sentences. For the 1850-1870 censuses, I created the roles Household member01- Household member10. So far, I haven't needed more. I then changed everyone with the role of Household member to the new role. The Head of Household has the role Head of Household or in some cased Head of Family. For the 1880-1920 censuses I created the roles Son01-Son12 and Daughter01-Daughter12. The role is first assigned based on the person's sex, and then by their position on the census. So you would have only one role per number: EX: Son01, Daughter02, Daughter03, Son04. This will place each person in the right order on the report. I changed my current daughter, daughters, son and sons roles to the correct new role. Once again don't forget to add these new roles to your ENGLISH census sentences. Now in each tag, make sure you are editing the sentences for you TABULAR language and use the role sentences below. Remember, that roles HAVE TO BE exactly like they are in the sentences. If your role names are different from mine, be sure and edit the sentences accordingly. To get the ages to print in the report, I created a Name-style called Census that allows me to put the person's age in the suffix field. This information may show in indexes, and does show in Second Site, so be sure you understand the implications before undertaking this endeavor. Birth 1816 in VA.

Any other role with multiple people attached will show everyone on the same line. I don't have many instances like this, so I didn't feel a need to add all those extra roles. If you have lots of nieces or nephews living with your heads of household, then you might want to add multiple roles for those roles too. Use the same naming sequence as son and daughter to get them to print correctly. Don't forget you have to change each person to their new role. This will take a while if you already have your census information set up. In the 1850-1870 tags, I made the spouse Household member01 and each child was named in the order they showed in the census. In the 1880-1930, I assigned the role based first on the person sex, then on the position they were in the census. Example: daughter: Sallie B. Ghee (age 28) Daughter01 daughter: Tennie Ghee (age 20) Daughter02 son: John W. Ghee (age 19) Son03 son: Ed Ghee (age 17) Son04 son: Thomas A. Ghee (age 15) Son05 daughter: Susan H. Ghee (age 13) Daughter06 daughter: Dennie E. Ghee (age 12) Daughter07 son: Clifton S. Ghee (age 8) Son08 son: Longae L. Ghee (age 7).
