I would be interested if anyone has developed a Guardianship Tag, something along the lines of: /In December 1721, John Palmer was appointed guardian of Joseph and Christopher Boober/ I often seem to have trouble building a tag at the step, "pick the group that it most resembles". Looking more for a straightforward tag, as I don't use custom roles. Thanks, -- Bob Geldart Maynard, MA Searching: Geldart/Gildart, Venti, Willcutt, Besaw, Bubar, Maynard

I know you don't want to use custom Roles, but I did. Here are my Roles and their Sentences: Principal: [:CR:][:TAB:][P] became the guardian of [R:Ward] <[D]><, [M]> Witness: ERROR - assign role of Ward Ward: After the death of [SPP] father, [P1]<, [WM1],> became [SPP] guardian <[D]> <[WM2]> I designed this to have the guardian entered as the first Principal, and assigned the standard Principal Role. The child is assigned the Role of Ward. With this design the ward can be entered either as the second Principal or as a Witness. If you don't want custom Role you could modify this to do that. > I often seem to have trouble building a tag at the step, "pick the group > that it most resembles". I think you are confusing Tag Types with Source Types. That wording appears when you create a custom Source Type. However, with new Tag Types you do have to choose a Tag Type Group, and you must do that before you save the new Tag Type, as you can't change it once you save it. But the choice is easy - unless you are creating custom Name, Relationship, Birth, Death, or Burial Tag Type, you always choose "Other Event." > Looking more for a straightforward tag, as I don't use custom roles. Why not? :-) Terry Reigel

The Principal's sentence is [P] <was appointed guardian|and [PO] were appointed guardians> of [WO] <[D]> <[L]> The Witness's sentence for males is [P] <was appointed as his guardian|and [PO] were appointed as his guardians> <[D]> <[L]> and the same for females with "his" replaced by "her." I also have roles defined for the tag (although I know you said you don't use custom roles) of Husband, Wife, Child1-Child5, and Ward, that allow a little more variation in sentence structure. > I often seem to have trouble building a tag at the step, "pick the group > that it most resembles". Not sure what you mean by this. I don't get this prompt when creating a Tag Type. Do you mean picking the Tag Group, in the General tab? -- Charlie Towne cetownegm@gmail.com

Charlie, Thank you. That works for me. Simple.
