As near as I can tell, Legacy does not distinguish between a fact and an event. In Legacy help, a fact is referred to as an event. That is, when you click on "Fact" in the index you see definitions for "event".
By the way Bill, my instructor was not embarrassed in front of the class, it was a "water cooler" conversation. bgj -----Original Message----- From: William Boswell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 8:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Facts, Events and Sources An event, fact or anomaly? My great grandfather was counted in the 1930 census only because his casket and body were lying in the parlor at the time. He was a jokester and nicknamed "Ha Ha" dying on April Fool's Day no less. I guess the joke was on him this time. I included him for the 1930 census only because it is in the record, but the date of the census was taken post death so this is very odd. In this case, the census might be an event for him. He participated, but never knew it. This makes me wonder how many people were dead at the time a census was taken. This could lead many researchers down empty roads if no obituary or other proof could be found because they would think the person was still alive at that time. ------- Bill Boswell Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
