Otto Some time ago I believe there was some discussion on the topic of immigrate/emigrate. As I recall, you said you used the Resided event to cover in-country relocations. I now use Emigrated, to describe in-county relocations because it relates to a specific date of relocation, as in Event:Emigrated, Date: 1885, "FROM", Location/Description: Kansas to Nebraska, even though it is not grammatically correct. This would be opposed to Resided/Resided (family) which really only indicates that a person was living at a given place at a given time. This I used earlier when recording a relocation at a specific data and time - so my database does have some inconsistencies. It does seem a bit odd that there is not a gedcom standard for something like "Relocated" referring to an in-county relocation.

Before 1959 they was two different countries and the emigration and immigration is OK to use, but what now? This are the same situation many places in also Europe where border of countries have changed and some times was separate countries and sometime different countries. Emigration are alright between countries, but what with greater move inside a country, e.g. also move from New York to Alaska. How to mark that? E.g. Norwegian and many other arrived at Ellis Island, but might travel through whole America to California, Minnesota or what ever. Emigration to Ellis Island and so a large travel through the whole America to the place where they (many be several years later settled down) in (to day) Houston. What events are used to give proper information about that moving around. ? I know this can be told in biography, but as short events to be presented by a gedcom? -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON ------------------------------- 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

We use ( Resided ) RESI to dentify where a person was living at a certain period, e.g. by information from Census and also giving information from birth protocol and marriage protocol and so on. That do not tell the movement of the family if nothing happened as mention above. We also miss the Tag and as many many more sources are available on net users of BKK want to note more fact to trace the family when moving around in the would, e.g. from Scandinavian we did have a lot of emigrants to USA and they did not settle down at the first place for their whole life. They did move around, e.g. from east to west. I agree; It seems we miss as tag to use for all the relocation a family does. E.G. Sometimes we find that the Family are mowing from Ellis Island, but we d ot find the family again. Mya be changed the name.. But that is an other problem :) -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON
