Re: [LegacyUG] Event/Fact
Since whatever you add you are adding to the same table in Legacy you are free to interpret what you enter as an Event or a Fact. That is why there are places we use Event/Fact to describe the data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event/Fact
Perhaps not exactly what you want but here's a little more about it as I understand. The date fields in Legacy can be blank, a single date, or a date range. Usually, an occupation covers a date range during the life of a person. Nobility titles are similar. If someone has achieved a title like Dr., Capt., General, etc. those might be documented as given on a specific date even though the title may apply the rest of their life. Some events are known to have happened but without a date that can be proven so the date might be an estimate or left blank. A person might be born with a nobility title like Prince and later be crowned King. Another good example is a residence. A date range might effectively indicate the time frame when the person resided at a specific address. Military service, college enrollment, and others are likewise date ranges. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event/Fact
Leonard, To answer your question we need to look at a little history. At one time Legacy just had Events, and whilst this was good enough for most of us those who moved from FTM complained that they missed the FTM Facts. As others have said the difference between an Event and a Fact is often just a function of time, to is was perfectly in order to rename Events to Events/Facts and allow the user to decide which it is by looking at the time scale, particularly since I suspect that if we were individually asked to say which is which, we are quite unlikely to agree.

You ask why this section of the program is called Event/Fact and then go on to answer your own question. That section is used to enter both Events (things which happened, you might say) and Facts (things which were). -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
