[edit] Introduction
[edit] 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.
[edit] Place and Address
[edit] Multiples places
There are many 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 information for genealogical searches!
- 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)
[edit] 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) |
On description we could use "the "header of family" as person's name on census event.
[edit]
- Gramps XML format (from Gramps to Gramps): there is no problem, descriptions on event are safe.
- Gedcom: if the recipient's program ignores TYPE attribut (GEDCOM), then he could lose descriptions on event ...
