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.

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.

I've had a long day and perhaps I am misunderstanding
you, but you CAN
design the sentence to read differently if the description
field is filled
than when it isn't.

Ron,
After further review, you are correct! The events
showing
without the colon
are those where there is no description entered. I
don't want
to define
those events without the description as sometimes
there is valid
informationto enter. For example, I have cases where
Residence
is defined with a
description of "at the time of her father's
death", if I have
found such
information in an obituary that was published in the
newspaper.
It sure would be nice if the list style would print
them the
same regardless
of whether all of the fields are entered or not.
I will submit this as a bug.
Thank you!
Mary

Thanks, Mary :-(
That is one I had not spotted! But before going
further may I
make it clear
that most of the problems I have with Pedigree
webpages are self
inflictedas the presentation of my site is definitely
non-standard.
Yes, I use the list style and having looked I have
found an
example of the
comma instead of a colon. However, it is not as you
have
suggested due to a
self created Event. The one I have found is a
Residence Event.
Within that
list I have 3 Residence Events but only one has the
comma and in
that one I
have a blank field:
Residence: Census, 1901, Salford
Residence, 1891, Salford
So my question to yourself is - "is the second
field in your
Event blank?"
Now mine is due to an error but your's looks as
though it is
not, in which
case what happens if you remove the second field from
the Event,
or fill it?
(assuming, of course that is the reason).
BTW please do not expect a quick answer as it 2-45am
here and
the only
reason I'm still up is that I'm working on a
complete redesign
of my site
and I won't sleep until most the scheme worked
out, mainly in my
head but
with some of it on paper.

I know that Ron Ferguson creates Pedigree Web
Pages and the
finagling that
he has to do for his pages is pretty common
knowledge on this list.
Ron, when you create your pages, do you use List
Style or
Sentence Style
for
Events? Do you have events that you created?
I use List Style and it appears that events that I
have
defined do not
look
the same as those that came with Legacy. I
don't see anything
different in
the way that the event is defined. Examples of the
event in
List Style on
pedigree web page:
. OCCUPATION: Saddler, 8 Sep 1878, Saint Vincent
Villa, Lynton,
Devon, England.
. IMMIGRATION, 12 Apr 1881, New York, New York
County, New York,
USA.
Occupation is followed by a colon and Immigration
is followed
by a comma.
I think that Occupation is one of the default
events and that
Immigrationis
one that I created.
Has anyone else seen this?
Mary
