Thanks Jane, interesting. Spoiler alert - the census reference is incidental, and it's much more about how easy/difficult it is to query data in FH vs RM.
I've never understood why Bruce Buzbee and his team haven't embraced the work done by the enthusiasts behind SQLite Tools for RootsMagic. It really enhances the ability to query RM data, and being a "proper" database, the structure is much more amenable to flexible queries than is the case with FH. The very big downside is that you need to have an understanding of basic SQL, not the easy point-and-click of basic FH queries.
Well done to team Orde - FH queries might be slightly idiosyncratic in their style and limited in what they can do, but they are accessible to newcomers with relatively little effort.
