Gerald,

That's great, Gerald. I think I know why you're not seeing everything
though. In the administration area, go to "custom event types,"
click on the box on the far left for the line of the event for your
census notes and choose to "accept" it. The next time you do a gedcom
import it will accept and import items with that tag. If you don't
know what the tag is, take a look at your gedcom in a text to see what
it's being labeled. Then after you've accepted the events for what
you want, I think it will show up on the list to select from in the
custom reports area.
