I
have set up flags for each census year and filters to set them so I can
find individuals who are candidates for that census. I will describe the
process for the 1930 census that I have found useful.
The flag is Census1930 with the following settings:
? = default
N = not found on the census
Y = candidate for this census
F = found on an index
O = found on original census
X = not a candidate for this census
(Teresa's
note: I also use B: for people born too late to be on a census,
and D: for people who died before a census)
The way I use these flags is set up a series of filters to set the
various
flag settings. I start by eliminating anyone who was born after the
census
data or died before the census data by setting their flag to an
"X".
(Teresa's note:
This is where I would use my B and D)
The filters for the LOP are as follows:
1930 census flag set to X
( Birth Group...
Date > Comes After 01 Apr 1930 AND
Birth Group...
Date Is Not Empty ) OR
( Death Group...
Date < Comes Before APR 1930 AND
Death Group...
Date Is Not Empty AND
Death Group...
Date <> Does Not Equal 1930 ) OR
( Burial Group...
Date < Comes Before APR 1930 AND
Burial Group...
Date Is Not Empty AND
Burial Group...
Date <> Does Not Equal 1930 ) END
The secondary output for the LOP is to set the Census1930 flag to
"X".
With these people eliminated I next set the flag for individuals who
should
be considered. The was accomplished by the use of three separate flags,
one
which found individuals who had events (tags) before and after the
census
date, one to find anyone born within 100 years before the census date
and on
e to find anyone who died within 100 years after the census date.
Remember I
have already eliminated those who died before or were born after the
census
date. These filters are as follows:
1930 census candidate before and after
Any Event... Date
< comes before 02 Apr 1930 AND
Any Event... Date
> comes after 01 Apr 1930
AND
Any Event... Country
Contains
USA
AND
Census1930#1
= Equals
?
END
1930 census candidate birth
Birth Group... Date
< Comes before 02 Apr 1930 AND
Birth Group... Date
> Comes after 01 Apr 1830
AND
Any Event... Country
Contains
USA
AND
Census1930#1
= Equals
?
AND
Death Group # of tags
< is less than 1
END
1930 census candidate death
Death Group... Date
> Comes after 01 Apr 1930
AND
Death Group... Date
< Comes before 01 Apr 2030 AND
Any Event...
Country Contains
USA
AND
Census1930#1
= Equals
?
AND
Birth Group # of
tags < is less than
1
END
For each of these three filters the secondary output for the LOP is to
set
the Census1930 flag to "Y"
You now have a flag for all of the candidates that you want to check in
the
1930 census. Now you need a way to determine if they already have been
found
on the original images. I have tags for each census year named
Censusxxxx,
where xxxx is the census year. For this you use the following filter:
(NOTE:
The Census1930 in the following filter is a tag, not a flag)
