    1. [TMG-REFUGEES] an important functionality for me
    2. Barbara Levergood via
    3. Just to get the ball rolling, here is an example of a very basic but important functionality for me, the reason that it is important to me, and the features that do or do not incorporate or enable that functionality in TMG, RM, Legacy, and FH. Of course, since I am just learning RM, Legacy, and FH, it could well be that my information is incomplete. Here is where the collaboration comes in... If you have more, better, or corrected information about this functionality, please post it so that we can all benefit. Or do a similar analysis of a functionality that is important to you and share it with us. Barbara L. ++ Functionality: Display of all events in person’s life in a single list, ordered chronologically, including marriage and birth of children Important to me to assess timing of events or make hypotheses about where records for an event might be located. TMG, v. 9.x • Person view. Includes marriage and birth of children. RootsMagic, full v. 6.3.1.4 • Edit person. Includes person’s marriage but not birth of children. I haven’t found a way to configure which events are included in this view. • Search/Person List=RootsMagic Explorer, linked to Individual View. Individual View includes marriage, but not birth of children. • Timeline. But that also includes birth, marriage, etc. of siblings. I haven’t found a way to configure which events are included in this view. Legacy, trial v. 8.0.0.439 • Individual’s information. But marriage and birth of children are not included. • Name list/events. But marriage and birth of children are not included. • Name list/detail. Can customize, but only up to 8 events can be viewed at once. Family Historian, trial v. 5.0 • Individual/facts. Includes all(?) events, including marriage and birth of children. I haven’t found a way to configure which events are included in this view. ++ -- Barbara Levergood levergood@att.net
