In watching Geoff Rasmussen’s Webinar “Legacy Family Tree and Family Search Family Tree” I noticed that as he was showing his personal family file he had an individual, with an event titled “Migration”. This would be perfect for documenting long distance moves. I have already added a new event definition for this to my family file, and put it to use.
Bob From: Roger Lamprey Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 10:43 PM To: [email protected] I'm trying to get some ideas for recording changes of residence for an individual. Similarly, though not the same, how might we record knowledge that a person lived at address A in year Y? In Legacy's Master Event Definition List are some possible event names (Land, Property, Immigration, Emigration), though I don't quite like any of them for reflecting either a change of residence within a country or that we know the person lived at address A in a given year. The "Census" event would seem fine for indicating the latter based on a census, but that is too specific and is rather arbitrary just to handle knowledge of a person's location based just on a census source. I added a "Residence" event to the list, but I am not particularly happy about that as it doesn't address a move. Any good ideas for handling this? Am I missing something?
