My problems and my solutions.....
I enter None for people who do not have an occupation in the census. I
needed a way to generate the sentence
"He was not employed on 6 May 1930." I didn't want to use an alternate
sentence for everyone, thinking there must be an easier way.
Therefore, following Don's suggestion in the event fields I enter:
eventname = occupation
desc = [[none]]
date = 6 May 1930
The sentence structure for when only the desc and date are filled
becomes
[:IF [Desc] :: [heshe] was employed as [desc] [ondate] :: [heshe] was
not employed [ondate]].[sources][notes]
I also like to use an event called Relationship where I enter a
person's relationship to either my husband or myself. I use None as a
desc in this event field to let me know the person is not related and
that I have already checked for a relationship. My values read:
eventname = Relationship
desc = [[none]]
The sentence structure for when none of the fields are filled in is:
[date]. Since there is no date, no sentence appears. This might not be
kosher, but it works for me.
Once again, thanks for your help.
