Family Fact sets

Post by wulliam » 16 Mar 2020 20:24

Hi,

I have four facts which are used to define:
(b) where an individual was brought up,
(m) where they married to,
(a) where an unmarried adult lived, and
(w) where a widowed person lived.
The (m) fact is the only family fact among these; they are used to produce this type of output:

The issue I have is that when an individual married more than once, only their second place of married life appears. I can see why this is but would like to find a way of showing each event, perhaps something like this...perhaps with (m1) and (m2) rather than just (m).

The text scheme dialogue box currently looks like this:

I know it says 'First marital home' - that's just because I didn't choose the best name when I created the Fact Set...I'm not too worried about that.

I'm currently self-isolating with mild symptoms, and as of Johnson's announcement tonight, I and my family have about 11 days to go, so work-from-home during the day (I'm a teacher but there's lots to get ready in advance of schools probably/possibly closing) and FH in the evenings looks like the way to go!

Many thanks,
William

I think you are saying there will be just one 'First marital home' event per Family record.
You have two options:
  1. One item entry for Residence - first marital home with Template using the looping index:
    (m) %INDI.FAMS[1+]>EVEN-RESIDENCE__FIRST_MARITAL_HOME.ADDR%
  2. A separate item entry per Family record for Residence - first marital home with Templates:
    (m) %INDI.FAMS[1]>EVEN-RESIDENCE__FIRST_MARITAL_HOME.ADDR%
    (m2) %INDI.FAMS[2]>EVEN-RESIDENCE__FIRST_MARITAL_HOME.ADDR%
    (m3) %INDI.FAMS[3]>EVEN-RESIDENCE__FIRST_MARITAL_HOME.ADDR%
    Note that this could produce any combination of (m), (m2) & (m3) displays if that event does not occur for every Family record.
Another option is to only include that display in each of the wives boxes similar to Marriage events.
I.e. Change the Box Types and Conditions settings to be the same as in the default Marriage item.

Thank you, Mike - I've now had time to try your second suggestion and it works beautifully.
I find myself wondering what wondrous things FH7 will be capable of!

Thanks again,
William
