I have Alt. Birth, Alt. Death, Alt. Christened, Alt. Christening, Alt. Burial, Alt. Buried and Alt. Marriage – none of which I have created or used, and I do not use nFS to import data so they must be default Alt. Events.
Cheers Jan From: Ron Taylor [mailto:doit4...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, 27 September 2012 02:32 To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Alt Name vs AKA I believe that "Alt. Name" is created by LegacyFS when you pull an alternate name into your Legacy file from nFS. Same is true of "Alt. Birth", "Alt. Death", "Alt. Burial". There may be a few others. The important thing to realize is that those event definition names are hard-coded in LegacyFS. If you already have an "Alt Birth" definition (note the missing period), when you pull an alternate birth from LegacyFS, it will not use your "Alt Birth" but will insert the new "Alt. Birth" into the event definitions table. If you combine those, you would be wise to combine "Alt Birth" into "Alt. Birth" or else that LegacyFS name will show up again next time you pull that data from nFS. The same is true of the other "Alt." names created by the LegacyFS interface.
