I just looked at the help file and found this... >Note: Some [fields] are meant to be used for individual events and others for >marriage events.� The fields for marriage events include: > >[CoupleFirstNames] >[HusbFirstName] >[HusbFullName] >... any fields beginning with "[Husb" >[WifeFirstName] >[WifeFullName] >... any fields beginning with "[Wife" >[MRIN] > >If these are put into individual events, they would not always make sense. >For example, using [HusbFullName] in the sentence for a woman that was never >married, or was married more than once, would not result in a name.� Legacy >can't just remove the field, or leave it unchanged in these cases, so it >should not be used. > >When Legacy finds a marriage-type name field in an individual event >sentence, like [HusbFullName], it just returns the current individual's name >information...even if that person is a female.� Likewise, if an >individual-type name field is found in a marriage event, like [FullName], >the husband's name information is used by default. > >In summary, don't use marriage-type fields in individual events and don't >use individual-type fields in marriage events.
So this may explain some of the behavior you are seeing. (I believe [CoupleNames] should also be included on this list.) But I am still seeing a problem with the following event sentence used as a marriage event... My "Marriage Consent" event: >[Desc] gave his consent [onDate] [~inPlace] for [CoupleNames] to >marry.[Sources] [Notes] I have a couple with no children. I use this as a marriage event. When I run the Descendant Modified Register Report (standard format) from her parents I get... >Timothy Sewell gave his consent on 19 Mar 1804 in Warren Co., Ohio for Hester >Sewell and Hester Sewell >to marry.9 It was witnessed by Amos Sewell and David Sewell Jr. [CoupleFirstNames] seems to work ok. Sherry, can you take a look at this? -- Dennis M.
