Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Adding a Period of Years to an Event
There are two date ranges that Legacy will recognize.
"From date one to date two" or date one - date two; and
Between date one and date two.
I use the first for the case of a known duration eg. Residence:
Minnesota from 1943 to 1956 (based on city directories for these years)
and the second for an event which may have no duration but which
occurred sometime within the range eg married (as in the marriage
ceremony) between 1920 and 1930 (evidence on which I would base this: he
was living at home and single in the 1920 census but married and living
with his wife and children in the 1930 census. Both census records would
by my sources.
For a marriage that lasted a period I would not use a date range. I
would only use the marriage beginning (ceremony date) and if it ended
(other than by death of one spouse) I would enter the date of
divorce/dissolution/separation. It is then obvious to me the marriage
lasted from the first to the second date.
