Some researchers like to see facts or events or tags listed in strict date order or joined together in sentences. Biography-style notes usually group types of events like education and occupation to reduce repetition. View a Legacy report with "He had a residence..." repeated for every source for an individual.

He had a residence on 22 Jun 1852 in , Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.(21) He had a residence on 24 May 1855 in Sharon, Beaver, Pennsylvania.(16) He had a residence on 27 Feb 1856 in New Brighton, Beaver, Pennsylvania.(3) He appeared on the census on 6 Nov 1860 in Richfield, Hennepin, Minnesota.(2)

One of the requests for Legacy reports is to add an option for single spaced events. It is confusing to read a Legacy descendant report with single spaced child names when events are always double spaced.

FTM 5 added multiples of facts in 1998 replacing 13 numbered facts in older Windows versions. There is an option for the preferred fact or multiples in reports and wall charts. FTM box charts can be used like visual custom reports to check conflicting birth dates/locations for the most important individuals in a family group without creating a temporary file.

FTM did not have events. It used Facts and some facts had the same names as
events used in Legacy. Its reports only printed the main Fact (when I last
used that program)
