I have a person recorded as blind on a census. Where in FH can I record this?
I use Ancestral Sources to record census returns, but I missed this fact off when I originally entered it. I now want to add it in, but can't see anywhere logical to put it!

Re: Where to record a blind person
Would the 'Physical Description' fact work for you?

Re: Where to record a blind person
When you say you "missed this fact off when I originally entered it" do you mean you forgot to enter it in the Census Grid as a disability or you did not create a Fact for the person being blind?
AS can automatically create a Physical Description fact for anything entered in the 'Disability' or 'Deaf-and-Dumb, Blind, Lunatic' cell, but requires the appropriate Tools > Option to be ticked.

Re: Where to record a blind person
I didn't enter it in the census grid; I didn't scroll to the edge of the image and missed the disability column. I do usually check that column, but just didn't this time.
I suppose I could have asked the question slightly differently, as 'where does AS record disabilities?'
As AS records under Physical Description, then that's good enough for me!
Thanks everyone
