    1. [FHU] Entering from electoral role
    2. John Ellis via
    3. Hi I'm entering information from the electoral role for a family. Normally I would use residence for this purpose. I normally copy the residence fact to each of the people living at that address However, I note that the sentence template now reads: "{date} {individual} lived at {address} {place} <with {other=resident}>"; I've added the address field. What I don't understand is how the "<with {other=resident}>" part of the sentence template works. Where do you enter the "Other Resident" e.g. husband and wife at the same address. Many thanks John

    3. John, you use the new FH V6 Fact Witness feature (right-click the Fact and use Witness option), but in this case I advise against it. Firstly, it uses a 'user-defined' GEDCOM tag (_SHAR) that is not recognised by most other genealogy programs, so jeopardises exportability. Secondly, in my opinion, Fact Witnesses are best used for Witnesses to an Fact, not the key Individuals. In other words, the Fact applies directly to key Individuals (Person Born, Couple Married, Person Died, etc) whereas Witnesses witnessed it (Informant, Witness, Best man, Bridesmaid, Mourners, Minister, etc).
