Here is something that Ive never noticed before nor have I seen it mentioned in this forum. It appears to be what Id call some small Easter Eggs put in the program code by programmers usually as hidden things that can happen or some humor that is usually seen or known only by them. It involves the sample data for event definition sentences You will see such sample data when viewing the Edit Event Definition window and the sample data is used to create what a possible sentence would look like.
The easiest way to see all of these in one place is to click View / Master Lists / Event Definition. Within that long list of Events that will appear scroll down to any of the following events and just double click that event. That will open up the Add / Edit Event Definition window. Down at the bottom is a sentence that will be created based upon sample data that apparently is hard coded into the program. Not all events have sample data and any custom events added by the user will not have sample data. You will also note that the sample.fdb supplied by Millenia contains different sample data than a normal user created database. Here are a few that I found that contain some weird / humorous data. There probably are more but this is just a quick look with my comments in parentheses: Alt.Birth = He has conflicting birth information of a suspicious nature, 28 May 1904 and Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (This sentence was taken from the sample.fdb. The real database created for the user does not contain "of a suspicious nature".) Alt.Burial = He has conflicting burial information of that is interesting, 28 May 1904 and Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (this is interesting...???) Alt.Christening = He has conflicting christening information of that is different, 28 May 1904 and Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (this is interesting...???) Alt.Death = He has conflicting death information of that is wrong, 28 May 1904 and Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (This sentence was taken from the sample.fdb. The real database created for the user does not contain "of that is wrong".) Alt.Marriage = He has conflicting marriage information of that is surprising, 28 May 1904 and Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (This sentence was taken from the sample.fdb. The real database created for the user does not contain "of that is surprising".) Engagement = He was engaged in the parking lot on 28 May 1904 in Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (Really...engaged in the parking lot ???) Marriage Contract = He signed a marriage contract unwillingly on 28 May 1904 in Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (Really...unwillingly ???) And for the most surprising one of all which comes only from the sample.fdb. Remember, this is a genealogical program that does not support same sex marriages...... Marriage License = John and John obtained a marriage license together on 28 May 1904 in Seattle, King, Washington, United States.¹ These are the event notes. (Wow, John and John !!!)
