in the events section use 'census family' which takes care of husband and wife.

John, I created an event called Documents Found and in the location field, I put Cyy followed by an alpha code of where I put the image (under Media tab). For example, C10-20f, C30h, C40 tells me that the person appears in the 1910 & 20 census with her father, in the 1930 census with her husband, and in the 1934 census by herself. I always put the census image with the person designated "head" on census. In the Documents Found field, I put codes for all the documents I find, using similar coding such as Dn for "Death Notice." Then if I go to the library to do research, I can print out a list of the person's name, basic dates, and the Documents Found field so that I know what I already have and don't do duplicate research. Works for me. Regards, Sandy On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:15 AM, John Bibby <johnbibbyjohnbibby@gmail.com>wrote: > ??

To John Gilliver, I'm sorry that you found my original posting to be so cryptic. I'll try to do better in the future. However, I hope this explanation helps you understand the points you clearly missed. I did not say, nor did I imply, that John Steed should do no further development on BK . I said that "I am not in favor of STRUCTURAL (emphasis supplied) changes" WHEN there are fairly easy workarounds. Structural means, well, structural -- a change to the data structure. When you change the length of a fixed-length field you must reformat every report or screen that accesses that field. Making multiple changes to a program that currently works is not a task to be taken lightly. This is not at all the same as adding reports or finding and correcting bugs. Both jobs are hard but restructuring when it is unnecessary is akin to shooting yourself in the foot before taking a hike. Also, I did not say, nor did I imply, that users should be discouraged from asking questions. Some of us actually learn new things from the questions as well as the answers. Although you phrased it as a put-down, I am sorry that you find my suggestion (to use a source field as an elaboration upon a location) a solution that you would never consider using. Your loss. The specific location that was mentioned in the first question of this thread had to do with a burial plot. I have hundreds of such specific locations. Most of them come from books of interments for cemeteries but some are personal visits or other sources. Being (I hope) a good genealogist, I record the source as the book and use the source "page field" to record the page. This allows an interested person to see exactly where my information comes from. But the "page field" of the source record actually has enough space (80 characters) for me to record not just the citation but also the full transcription of section, lot and plot. The reader benefits from the more detailed citation and by taking advantage of this additional space, my "location" field needs only to be the cemetery name and general location information (usually, city or township, county, and state). I understand that BK is used in countries where the structure of political subdivisions may not be as simple as the United States and that those users may have to make complicated choices in how to record information. Thank you for noticing that I could have been more specific in my example. Instead of "Heidelberg Twp, Lehigh (formerly Northampton) Co, PA" perhaps I should have used 40° 43' 0" N 75° 45' 05" W even though this would no longer be an example of the point I was making. But I assume it would have been less confusing to you and would have avoided the use of an abbreviation unknown to you. That said, it is somewhat surprising to me that you were not able to determine the meaning of TWP since it is the first Wikipedia entry that you see when entered in the (English version) of their search engine. Perhaps you are not aware of the advantages of using Wikipedia. I find it quite useful. Moreover, although obsolete in England for over 100 years, the word "township" is of English origin and is apparently still used in parts of Scotland. I would have expected a UK genealogist to have encountered the term somewhere along the way. You might also consider using Google when you encounter a phrase unknown to you. Try entering the entire phrase "Heidelberg Twp, Lehigh (formerly Northampton) Co, PA" (without the quotes). Jim Ramaley 39° 49' 42? N, 77° 13' 56? W ----- Original Message ----- From: J. P.

John, I did pretty much as you suggested . . . checked out the new ged by loading that database seeking points of logical connection and determined which connections were significant and jotted down the numbers. Then went to the normal comparison setup and compared the common points. The new ged had only 700 records to compare to my 13700 records so what I started doing wasn't going too badly. The new ged had a great many records which needed to be picked up so using that on the left and seeking a match identified those of no match . . . never finished that course of action . . . need to finish up later.

Jim, I have one buried in Canton, CT on my dads side and found a tombstone for him in the basement of the house that my mom grew up in. We know of no reason for the stone to be in the basement of that house. We believe that the stone was replaced for some reason but don't know why. I also found a relative buried in San Antonio, TX. that has a tombstone with his first wife and is buried with his second in a different cemetery and has a stone there too.

I got a relative buried in two places (or at least two tombstones), one here at the VA and another in his home town.

Foir me it is strange, but I have to ask. Is it normal that one do reburry a dead person after several years. ? -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON Remember - Use the Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Remember - Use the Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

John, that sounds like a good idea. However, it may not work well for me with all my common surnames.
