I have created individual census events (i.e. Census - Canada Census 1916, Census - United States 1880, etc.). I have created various roles in these Events as the need arises, such as wife, child (not son or daughter), father, mother, etc. I would like a sentence something like: Canada Census 1916 shows John Doe(head) residing in [place] with wife (wife) and child(ren) and who ever else is shared When I try to make the sentence it does not pick up the wife but re-enters the head. It does not seem to find the individual roles. How would I construct this to show what I want, including all roles without having to enter every role individually to the definition when I cannot see how many there are (listing 6 children, a father and stepmother - for example). I looked forward to this function, specifically for Census events, but until I can get a handle on this one, I would have to reconsider it for other events. Thanks for you help and kudos to the developers and staff at Legacy. Bernie On 09/12/2013 2:13 PM, C.G.

For each Event there is the standard Event Sentence Definition AND AND AND a separate tab for the Shared Event Sentence Definition which by the way can be set for each role in the shared event.     C.G.
