Susan, I do SSN at the Master Event level and it has worked fine, as far as the reports I used. see below*** --Paula
I have been entering social security numbers (SSN) in my individual records, but wish to keep this data private. I clicked on: View; Master Lists; Event Definitions; Social Security Number; Edit; and checked the box next to Private Event. Does this only affect all NEWLY added Social Security Events, or does it grandfather the rest to be private? ***test this by making another event of yours (Occupation?) private and see if they all disappear from your reports. When I add a new SSN, the box is not checked on private. An individual whose SSN was inadvertently left unchecked has the event showing up online where I uploaded my GEDCOM (5.5). The individuals who are specifically checked within their event are not online, however. So for what purpose does one check the Master List private box? ***might be the GEDCOM logic checks only the Individual's Event private check box...? I did a test with Family Group Report, and when the checkbox is filled in on an individual's Event and in the Master Definition, the SSN does not appear anywhere. But when I uncheck the Private box, it does not list the SSN Event in the Events list; but it DOES print it in the Chronology page! If I remove the Master definition Private check box, then it does print both in the events list of the individual and in the Chronology. So something is very fishy here. ***again, might be the Chronology page doesn't have the correct logic...?
