I have not decided what specific reports I will eventually use or need. I like the Chronology Report for various reasons. However, my point was that such a report is not a good way to view Residence History. I believe a Chronology Report is good for plotting larger life events on a chart. Military information is usually a one time Event in one's life, so there is no need to combine such information. I do use WW I and WW II Draft Registration Card information (and other Military records) as a source for various other Events such as Residence History, Occupation, and Physical Description.
The only Events where I summarize information in "one place" is Residence History and sometimes Occupational History. I find that most people want to know about his information, so I like to put it "up-front", "in one Event", and a "click away" for viewing and analysis.

But, if you compress these (residences or military) into one event, then on the chronology, it will be one event spread out over time/ the life of the individual, losing all detail. That matters only if you use the chronology, though. Are you two not using that report/chart? --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Harbaugh Hopkins Hughes Jones Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sullivan Williams ----- Original Message ---- From: Jenny M Benson <ge...@cedarbank.me.uk> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 4:51:20 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location michael barberi wrote > Hence, I created an Event called "Residence History".

I think this is an excellent idea! It's one which I may well adopt myself. I had already thought of compressing, for example, military history into one Event. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
