I know that is is probably preferable to edit Reports in a wordprocessor to get the best results and that many people do this. I don't often have cause to print Reports but I like to have my Event Sentences designed to produce a reasonably grammatical and sensible output whenever possible. LUGgers recently assisted me towards the decision to have separate Events with different wording, including some part of the EventName in [[privacy brackets]] for Events which can be "done by" or "done to" an individual.
Now I am turning my attention to Events - Facts, to be more accurate - where the "Source" occurs after the person's death. For example, a son or daughter marries several years after the father's decease and enters his (the father's) Occupation on the Marriage Register. Another example, a Will is probated a year after a person's death and the documents state the person's home address. How do LUGgers handle such Events/Facts? Do you create an Occupation or Address Event and leave it undated? Or do you put the date of the Marriage or Probate which is when the "statement was made" about the person's occupation or address? Do you do either of the above and add an Event Note such as "This was stated on his son's Marriage Certificate, 5 years after his decease"? I am contemplating the possibility of having 2 types of Address or Occupation Event. One, the usual "On <date> his Address was ..." or "On <date> he was a ..." and the other something along the lines of "On <date> it was stated that he had been ..." or "On <date> it was stated that his address at the time of his death was ...", with perhaps an explanatory Note. As usual it will be interesting and helpful to see how other LUGgers deal with these situations. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
