I should have added that, as I found each person in the Census, all I had to
do was click on the Event Type button in the Tag Entry Screen to change
their CENSEARCH tag into a CENSUS one, then enter the details found. In
those cases where they turned up where I expected them to be, the address
was, of course, already filled in.
