Immigration, Emigration or Travel?
Posted: 11 Jun 2013 11:38
Hi folks
I have a relative who was an Assistant Steward on steamships in the early to mid 1900s.
At present I have recorded his arrival at New York as 'Immigration', because the fact set also includes a 'from' field, eg. Immigrated to New York from Havana, Cuba.
I have tried creating a new 'Travel' fact (since he was not actually emigrating, just travelling), and copied the template code from the one in 'Immigration', but the 'from' field does not appear.
How do others of you handle travelling ancestors?
Help appreciated!
