That's one way to document a census page.

I looked up a census record and had a chuckle.  Out of the 11 households on the page, 8 are related to me.  That made quick work for entering census records.  I completed the page. 

Why not?  Otherwise I get to look for the number details to complete the source whenever I run across the family as I plug along in the data while constantly get sidetracked in my research.  (makes me think of OH LOOK! SOMETHING SHINY) 

Why not find each family on the page and enter their data using a 'clipboard' of the information?  I only had to change three pieces of the sourcing information for the eight families.  This makes my day!

If this makes no sense to you, sorry.  It makes perfect sense to me.  At least today it does.  Tomorrow I'll wonder what the heck am I talking about.
