Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage event

Terry,
I used to tell people to right click but so many now don't seem familiar 
with right click menus so I indicate the other way.
It would be worth your while becoming familiar with all the icons on the 
husband/wife toolbars on Family View.

Thanks, Cathy.

Couldn't follow your instructions. They didn't seem to apply or I 
misunderstood them.


But I right-clicked on the panel with my name in it and was offered 
the option to "unlink > from wife".

Did that and all was well. "from wife" is now greyed out.
Divorce now "divorce absolute".

Thanks Mike,

That was the problem.  Du!!.  I didn't think about associating the
event with the Marriage screen.

Live and learn

Thanks

This is the problem isn't it? You're associating an event that involves two
people with an individual. Are you sure you want this Marriage Event added to
the Individual and not the Marriage?

I have already entered the Marriage Information on the Family Page. It
is complete with Sources, pictures, etc.

However, I also wanted to use the Marriage Event for Amanda.  It is here
that I run into the issue.  This is also where I find the Sentence
definition.

I use the Individuals Information Screen, Click on Add to add an Event
I enter Mar and use the down arrow to select Marriage
It is at this point the "Amanda were married" sentence is populated.

I do not get a double return of Amanda and Amanda
If I fill in all the other fields, this is the result
"Amanda were married on 10 May 2014 in St Marys Church Johnson City, TN:
to brad clay.¹"  Not exactly what I wanted.  However, it may have to do
until the bug is fixed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage Event Issue

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Wes,
Two issues causing you problems I think though I'm not exactly clear what you 
are doing as you are giving a Marriage sentence - but that is built in but can 
be varied a little at Options > Customise 8.7 or using the Wording tab in the 
Marriage Information.
The normal is say Amanda married Brad (full name), son of X and Y on date in 
place.

If you don't use the normal place to enter the marriage details, I think you'll 
get unexpected results. You'll still get a built in marriage sentence of some 
sort.

So I'm not clear where you found the sentence definition you quote.

Perhaps you have got into the Shared Marriage sentences for Witnesses and 
Clergy?

Or Alt. Marriage?

Wherever you are,
First Issue:
when you look at the Event Sentence Definitions, note that you can look at a 
preview for Male, Female or Marriage. I think you haven't changed it to look at 
the preview for a Marriage Event.

Second Issue:
There is currently a bug in the [CoupleFirstNames] in that it is r
eturning the female name twice - in your case Amanda and Amanda - in the 
reports rather than on the preview.
This has been fixed in the current Beta so should be fine in the next update.

Cathy

[LegacyUG] Marriage Event Issue

[Wes]

I am using Legacy 8.0.0.427 on a windows 8.1 machine

I am trying to enter a Marriage Event, not Marriage Information, for my
daughter Amanda who just got married.  When I open the event, the
initial sentence is populated as "Amanda were married.¹"  In looking at
the Sentence Defintion, I see it should be populated with
"[CoupleFirstNames] were married [onDate] [inPlace]: [Desc]."  I cannot
locate anywhere that "[CoupleFirstNames" is populated.

I cannot find anyway to modify the sentence to read "Brad and Amanda" as
it should be. Even Amanda married Brad would be fine.

The help file does not specifically address the Marriage Event using
ltools did not show any D/B field names as couplesfirstnames.  This
indicates to me that this is a derived definition.  Even the sample
sentence is incorrect; "John were married on 28 May 1904 in Seattle,
King, Washington, United States: in the white church.¹ These are the
event notes."

Has anyone else had this issue?  Should I be looking elsewhere to setup
the First Names for the couple?  Is this a (gasp) bug?

Any information greatly appreciated.

Wes

Assuming that the event makes sense when copied - you can't cut the
event from
the marriage and paste it to an individual. You can copy it but you'll
have to
delete it from the marriage.

Select the event and edit it. Then using the left of the two buttons
on the
right, copy it to the clipboard.

Now, go to the individual, and add a new event. Then, using the second
of the
two buttons, paste the clipboard into the event. Voila!

You may have to watch out if the original event had a source attached
to it,
because the source will also get copied.
