That is, as I said, how I do it and. yes, it does lead to a very large number
of Residence Events. But this does not cause problems - after all that is what
databases are for!

There are some things you could change via the 4 Geocodes.txt

In your existing file you could change all the Germany to Deutschland

who were buried in that place and tagged them, then:

Perhaps you have verified the residence by other means, but where the

I have no problem with suggesting GenViewer as an intermediary to transfer

It's OK, Jan. I've been watching the thread of Census vs Residence. My other

No obvious (to me anyway) source to pick for something I know is true
because I lived it. Or something my mother recalled. Should I simply
add my name as a source? One good example is residence. I know where
we lived for most of my life - and certainly know where my wife and I
have lived since
Maybe it's just been a long week and I need about 20 hours sleep, but I
don't think the address is a Master Source or any kind of source for
that matter. The residence is the Event. The source is you, or your
parents or whoever else you can attribute the address information to.
