* Recording address and army enrolment

[neil40]

Hi

I want to add a fact about my grandfathers address at the time of his baptism/birth, and also when he enlisted for the Army in WW1

There are no 'facts' of this sort such as 'Address' or 'Enlist', so how do others do this in FH5?

Cheers for suggestions

If you have a look in the downloads section, there are several fact set and property box customisations that may provide what you are looking for.

There is an existing Standard Attribute Residence which can be added as many times as you like to hold an Address and the relevant Date(s).

Even the standard Birth and Baptism Events have an Address field as well as a Place field.
See What is a Place?
This is where you should record the Address of any Event.

Additionally there is the Residence Attribute to record an Address possibly over a period of Dates.

See the FHUG Downloads ~ Fact Sets where you will find a number of useful predefined Custom Fact Sets to download & if necessary adapt.

I see the address field as noted in replies, but I took this to be the address of the event, for example the address where the baptism took place.
Some instances of baptisms I've recently found note the address of the family, so I want to record that separately.
Hence, I was looking for a separate 'Fact' I can add that is purely a 'Residence' where I can add a date.
Now I can see it! Don't know how I missed that before I posted.

Military reference is still valid though, so I'll look at the fact sets.

My apologies, you are absolutely correct, the Birth/Baptism field for Address should record the Address of the Event.
However, for Birth, this may be the Residence too, which is fairly obvious from the Birth Certificate, because the Residence of Informant will be the same.
