Terry Reigel's Census Tag

Recommended Posts

Hi All:

I've created a few census tags based on Terry Reigels method listed on his web site. They work great. One thing I noticed though is that they all print out in one large paragraph:

 

" He appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Erin Township, Macomb, Michigan in the household of his parents, William F. Jahn and Fredricka Winkelmann. He was Farmer on Apr 26, 1910 at Kern Road, Erin Township, Macomb, Michigan. He and Clara Louise Patow appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Erin Township, Macomb, Michigan, enumerated Apr 26, 1910. He and Clara Louise Patow appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Lake Township, Macomb, Michigan, enumerated Jan 7, 1920, They were renting their home. Their children Grace, Emily and Harold Edward were listed as living with them. He was Farmer on Jan 7, 1920. He and Clara Louise Patow appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of East Detroit, Macomb, Michigan, at Erin Township, enumerated May 3, 1930, They owned their house or farm which had a listed value of $3000. Their children Grace, Emily, Harold Edward, Elma Christina, Ruth and Edith were listed as living with them. He was Manager of dry goods store on May 3, 1930."

 

Is there a way for each census entry to have its own paragraph?

Thanks.

Sure. Add the codes to create a new paragraph to the start of the Sentence in the Census tags. If you prefer the Journal reports, use a carriage return and tab: [:CR:][:TAB:]

 

If you prefer the other narratives, use two carriage returns: [:CR:][:CR:]

 

You can type them in, or select them with the right-click menu in the Sentence field.
