Introduction
Events
Residence and census are on GEDCOM 5.5 specifications :
RESI {RESIDENCE} The act of dwelling at an address for a period of time.
CENS {CENSUS} The event of the periodic count of the population for a designated locality, such as a
national orstate Census.
TYPE {TYPE} A further qualification to the meaning of the associated superior tag. The value does not
have anycomputer processing reliability. It is more in the form of a short one or two word
note that should be displayed any time the associated data is displayed.
Place and Address
Multiples places
There is a lot of solutions :
- GEDCOM 5.5 allows a sub-division on place title separated by commas.
But using a specific address as place title (or place attribute) might generate a lot of place objects on the same city or same district (no shared place object).
- Gramps provides an Address tab on person editor.
But maybe an other GEDCOM issue, which could hide some useful informations for genealogical searchs !
- The most effective emplacement for setting address seems to be the event editor !!!
Event objects are used on reports and displayed on views/tabs/dialogs. (see Why_residence_event_and_not_Address?) Most places deal with events (see Place Report)
How or where could we set address on event ?
Personaly, I find the event description a good choice :
| Residence | Census | |
|---|---|---|
| Event | Individual or family | Shared (People and Family) |
| Source | Certificate or a card | Census (Place and date) |
| Place | no sub-division for address (city, code, county, state, country) | no sub-division for address (city, code, county, state, country) |
| Event description | Residence of Surname, Given name - address (number street) | Address (number street) |
I agree, we could use "(event type) of person's name" on both event type (residence and census), maybe with the "header of family" as person's name on census event.
- with Gramps XML format (to Gramps), there is no problem, descriptions on event are safe.
- but if the recipient's program ignores TYPE attribut (GEDCOM), then he could lose descriptions on event ...
