Editing Event Attribute labels?

greatgable · Post by **greatgable** » 05 Nov 2007 19:15

At the beginning of my family history experience I created a new Event/Attribute called 1851 Census Address . . . I would now like to get delete the word Address and just use 1851 Census! Help!

The only way I can think would be to use a text editor to do a search and replace, if you have lots or simply replace the event manually by copying the details over.

Why are you using custom events for census, rather than the standard ones?

That's a good question? Unfortunately I just dived in and started without looking at the whole software!

If it were mine I would bite the bullet and redo the all census into standard events.

That's what I did a while ago to get all the Census images attached and everything sourced correctly after I abandoned FTW.

I agree with Jane.

Using Nick Walker's add-on, Gedcom Census, makes it easy to add census events. And if you happen to miss something, Family Historian's auto-source citation makes it easy to add the other data and link in the source citation.
