Thanks to all who responded to this thread. Ron Ferguson gave a little history as to how we got the name "Event/Fact". This is something that I did not know. Historically in Sweden, people had to go the Parish Office and obtain a certificate to permit them to move from one Parish to another. I did not know that Legacy had a built-in fact called "Move" that I was able to use to record these moves, but it has. Thanks again to all who responded.
