Introduction
This guide explains how to record information about a home through the census. With GRAMPS 1.0.x we had to re-enter the information each individual. With the "drag and drop" GRAMPS 2.x and the tool {{man label|Clipboard}} this repetition is reduced.
The French census are with [[sources|Registrations]], a very important source of information to validate family ties or fill gaps in the civil status. The first official (as today) census date ''18011790-1793'' followed by ''1816-1817''. Finally, all ''5'' years, ''1831'' to 1946 with few exceptions.
The census gives the location of each household by street/city/neighborhood. Thus, we can reconstruct a family at one time and living in the same house.
