John, I understand the idea, and you can export your citation screen to CSV and read that in Excel. But that is one way. Gramps can only import persons and families from CSV, so you can’t get modified citations back into Gramps that way, nor connect Access to the Gramps database. There are ways to export from Gramps to SQLite, and modify things there, but I have no idea whether that is practical either. I think that in a modern citation system, you should be able to add a date (and other things) on any level, so that you can add the date to the census itself, but the standards that support this have not yet matured enough to implement. This means, that today, you don’t have much choice, and if you don’t want to copy all identical dates, I suggest that you put the census date in the source title, or in the publication information of that source. The GEDCOM standard says that this field is meant to record when and where the record was made, so it is a legal use of that field. Publication date/year of a book should also be entered here. This is all I can add right now. regards, Enno |
