Of course, for those of us who dabble in the medieval, this runs right
into the question of the so-called by- names - the infamous "of
Hereford", "of Gloucester" etc. They aren't true surnames - nor are they
true locative names. In many cases they only indicate where a family's
seat of power was a
Hard to understand why you wouldn't use a residence event and you could forget
the "OF." If "OF" has been used correctly, it ALWAYS means the person lived

The software I use on my web site requires a GEDCOM input, and does not
handle events and sources well, if at all. I strive for accuracy, but if
anyone desires more details, I am glad to supply them. I chose my

Oh, sorry Jenny - didn't see your response about residence in time.
But, to me, even if I don't know the time, I still record the residence

If a person was "OF" such-and-such a place, that must mean he/she was a
resident there at some point. So, my logical conclusion has been to use
the RESIDENCE event. That way I don't have to worry about cluttering my
master locations list with OFs that increase the list and I can still
