[LegacyUG] Informant Event Definition?
Hi Rob, I think adding or not adding the date of the event in addition to the date of registration is a personal choice. I like to include both. My event sentence format is different than yours, but here is a Birth Informant event from my file: 1886 Feb 15 - Birth Informant - Annie registered the Dec 28, 1885, birth of her daughter Charlotte with the Superintendent Registrar's District of Swansea in Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales.¹ and under the daughter Charlotte's events, I would have a Birth Registration event: 1886 Feb 15 - Birth Registration - Charlotte's mother Annie was her birth informant registering the event with the Superintendent Registrar's District of Swansea, Registrar's Sub-District of Swansea in Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales.¹ I wouldn't refer to the birthdate in the daughter's event because I would have a separate Birth Event just prior to the Birth Registration event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Informant event definition?
Thanks Jenny! So you only record the date of the registration (not the date of the event) correct? Do you create the mirror image, and have an event (following your example) for yourself saying who was the informant on your record?

I don't think my way is much different to yours. My sentence "«b»[EventName]«/b»: [onDate] [HeShe] registered the [Desc] [atPlace].[Sources]" gives "Informant: on 8 January 1945 he registered the Birth of his daughter Jennifer Margaret Dodd at Birkenhead, Cheshire, England.¹ for my father being the informant of my own birth. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Update: I just ran a Check/Repair and the orphaned source was removed from my next printing of the report. So all is good in Individual Chart Land. Thanks! Rob M.

[LegacyUG] Informant event definition?
Hello! I'm trying to create a definition for Informants (i.e. Betty was the informant on her son's civil registration.) Do Legacy users include the event date AND the registration date in the definition? I'm finding it very chewy. Presently I have: [HeShe] was recorded as the informant [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace]. which creates: She was recorded as the informant on her son John's August 25, 1961 civil birth registration on 27 Aug 1961 in Winnipeg, , Manitoba, Canada.¹ Could someone please suggest a better way to record the information? Thank you!
