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.

What exactly is the difference between an Event and a Fact? When I think of Events I always think of this connected with a date, while when thinking about a Fact I don't necessarily connect this with a date. An Occupation is something I think of more as belonging to the category Fact than an Event. An Occupation is something that covers a time span and not, IMHO, connected to a specific date or it can be just a piece of information about a person's life without any connection with a date, therefore a fact. Is this the kind of distinction that other have made or are there other ways of looking at things? If so what are those ways? I would like to receive some feedback on this question. Thank you for your comments.
