<CensusTables>

March 13, 2022

Census tables show all of the census information for a selected individual's ancestors in a single table, making it easy, at a glance, to tell which ancestors need further research and where and when they are likely to be found. The tables are generated automatically from your genealogy data. All that is required is to add a record ID or name to the configuration. For a detailed look at how to create a standalone census table checkout Configuring a Standalone Census Table, and for an in-depth description, read What is a Census Table?.

Example

In this example, census tables will be created for two individuals. Four census years will be considered, and a different year is skipped for each of the individuals.

<CensusTables>
  <Ids>         I1; Henry Cooper       </Ids>  
  
  <CensusYears> 1905, 1911, 1921, 1930 </CensusYears> 
  
  <Skip> 
    <Id>        I1                     </Id>    
    <Years>     1905                   </Years> 
  </Skip> 

  <Skip> 
    <Id>        Henry Cooper           </Id>    
    <Years>     1930                   </Years> 
  </Skip> 
</CensusTables>
