I think you want to include the occupation statement in the "Notes (specific to this person's role)".
Sentence structure could be something like [onDate] he was the [EventRole] at the [Event] of [MainCouple]. [Notes]. The sentence would be something like "On 16 June 1896 he was the Groom's father at the marriage of George Smith and Sally Jones. The marriage certificate listed his occupation as labourer." -----Original Message----- From: Tony Rolfe [mailto:geneal...@gillandtony.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 11:33 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Shared event question I've just started to play with the shared events in V8 and have hit a small snag. Under V7.5, whenever I had a marriage certificate I would enter the marriage details for the couple. Then I would add a marriage event called "Witnesses" where I would list the witnesses names. If the witnesses were in my tree I would add a "Marriage Witness" event to the people concerned. This bit is easy to replace with the shared event. I would also add an event to each of the couples fathers. This was an occupation event and the sentence reads (in part) "[OnDate] [Notes] said he was a [Desc]" So we might get "On 16 Jun 1896 his son George's marriage certificate said he was a labourer". This is the bit I can't see how to replicate. I tried setting up a "Groom's father" role so I could build the basic part of the sentence but I can't see how to get the occupation into the shared event. Essentially, I need to add information from the certificate which isn't in the base event. I'm guessing that this is impossible, but I live in hope. Advice would be appreciated.
