Hello José, There are two events called God Father and God Mother. The sentence, when fields are filled, reads like: "His God Father was John Smith."
I choose to do things differently. In my christening/baptism notes, I like to put in the sentence "He was baptized by Father J. Doherty and his godparents were his father's cousin, Daniel Kilkenny, and either his aunt Mary (O'Neil) Cooke, or his eldest sister, Mary." This way I get to identify the possible relationship, and it becomes a sentence I would like to read in a history. Then for the godparents, I have cobbled together a definition using the "Honors" event, changing the sentence definition to "[HeShe] was the [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes]" In description I place the words "godfather to his cousin John's son, Nicholas Cooke," and then I put in the baptism date and the name of the church "Cloone (Saint Mary's Chapel), Cloone, Leitrim, Ireland". (My short sentence version for the church reads "Cloone Chapel of St. Mary, Cloone Parish".) In a report it comes out "He was the godfather to his cousin John's son, Nicholas Cooke, on 30 Nov 1870 in Cloone Chapel of St. Mary, Cloone Parish." I suppose you could just create an event called "Godchild" and enter the sentence definition above. Susan Daily On 7/22/07, José Mariz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is a simple question: is there any "best practices" for entering godparents in baptisms and witnesses in marriages? And representants of both when these are not present? Thanks
