Find the Top Hit (the Main Entry or Parent Entry)
Some searches in the Census database will yield hundreds of results. How do I find the top hit? For example, when searching using the keyword Pantheon, how does one find the Pantheon itself?
Locate the drop-down menu 'All hierarchy levels' under the search bar.
In this menu, choose 'Top-level only' to bring up only the main entry of the Pantheon, rather than the top-level record and all subordinate records.
More information about limiting hierarchy can be found here.
