I have some problems in using the two events Emigration and Immigration in the right way. They describe the same occurrence, but from opposite angles. Emigration is to my understanding related to the country the emigrant leaves and Immigration is related to the country he enters into. An example: The ancestor of Ira named Mogens Hans Lund was born in Denmark 1840 and went to UTAH in 1875. He thus: Emigrated to UTAH from Denmark in 1875 and he: Immigrated from Denmark into UTAH in 1875. I have no problems with the two statements above because they both tell not only the place from where he came but also the place where he went. In a gen-program or in Gedcom you have space for one place only, and therefore you have to choose which one of the two places you will indicate. My problem is now which place is the right one to choose. For an Emigrant I like to look at it from his homeland and I find it then most usefull to tell the place he emigrated to. Knowing that Mogens Hans Lund is born in Denmark I would then say that he: Emigrated to UTAH (he must of course come from Denmark) For an Immigrant I look at it from his new land and then the most usefull information is the place from where he came. Knowing that Mogens ended his life in USA I would say that he: Immigrated from Denmark (that he went to USA is obvious) The Standard Events in CFTW however say the opposite, viz he: Emigrated from Denmark and he Immigrated to UTAH. What is right and what is wrong? I can find no help to the answer in the Gedcom standard Erik
