Mary -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marilyn Potthast Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 4:18 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Events/Facts on Pedigree Web Pages Ron, For some reason Legacy does not have the cemetery in Kenosha, WI. When I put in the name and where they are buried it keeps telling me that there is no such cemetery. The name of the cemetery is Green Ridge and it is in downtown Kenosha, WI. It should be fixed in your program. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 5:13 AM To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Events/Facts on Pedigree Web Pages And I've only just got up so my brain is not yet in gear, but I think the answer to your question is "yes", at least to some extent. I think the default sentence for the description field is "at [Desc]". Take the Residence Event as an example, it reads "[He/She] at [Desc]". Without changing the default, only the contents of the Description field, it can be made to read eg. "He resided at 'birth' ", "He resided at 'birth in London Hospital' ", He resided at 'census' ", where the bit in single quotes is what is included in the description field. These are not particularly good examples but, I think, make the point. If this is not what you meant please come back to us.
