Sharon, This is exactly the kind of information I was hoping to generate. It's good to hear not only the event type but an explanation of the sentence structure and example to bak that up.
Many thanks for such a detailed explanation. Very Useful!! Keith Bage BAGE One Name Study (GOONS registered # 4451) www.bage.org.uk P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!

For instance "Land" - this could be bought sold, inherited in addition to owned, so I added: Land - bought [HeShe] bought land [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] Land - inherited [HeShe] inherited land [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] Land - sold [HeShe] sold land [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] sample: Christian Hurlocker sold land to Daniel Walker consisting of a 4 acre corner lot located at the intersection of Fayetteville Road and Charleston Road on 21 Jan 1832 in Mount Pleasant, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Charleston Road was the main supply route from Salisbury to the port of Charleston. It is now called North Main Street. Another is "Military". I have added: Military - battle [HeShe] was in a military war battle [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] Desc could be "during the US Civil War" or "in which he was killed" sample: John Howard was in a military battle which lasted From 19 Sep 1863 to 20 Sep 1863 in Chickamauga, Walker County, Georgia. This last major battle in the summer of 1863 happened along a small northern creek called Chicamauga. General Braxton Bragg's forces attacked the Union army headed by General Rosecrans on September 19, 1863. During the two days of bitter fighting, there were 35,000 casualties. The confederate troops routed the federal troops on the second day, causing President Lincoln to say that Rosecrans was "confused and stunned, like a duck hit on the head." Family history has it that John was shot in the chin during this battle. Military - prisoner of war Military - wounded and Military draft registration (now that ancestry.com has these records easily accessible for the US). I added most of these so I could show the different locations the person could be found, and so I could find all people who fought in the same battles, or were in the same prison camps, etc. Sharon Perdue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Bage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 5:15 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Event Definition & Timeline Sharing > > Bert's e-mail regarding the [FromDate] code has reminded me about a > question > I wanted to ask.
