* <with {other=resident}> in Residence Sentence Template

[Orijohnal]

I've noticed the subject phrase in the sentence template of the default Residence fact definition.

How do I get the result to list the other residents who share the same Residence fact?

[tatewise]

Take a look at the Family Historian Sample Project, and for Ian Stephen MUNRO and Anthony Edward MUNRO review their Residence facts. Right-click those facts and choose Witnesses to see who shared the address.

So in your Project you must use the same Witnesses option and then Add > Add Individuals with the Role of Resident.

Note that is quite different from having multiple Residence facts that all just happen to have the same Address field.
Fact Witnesses (new in FH V6) apply more widely and are best used for Marriage Witnesses, Birth/Death Informants, and other attendees at such events.

Thanks again, Mike.

That adds a couple of steps to a census entry. I don't suppose the attribution of resident witnesses can be automated (ie. with AS)?

[tatewise]

I would not use Fact Witnesses for household members of a Census Event especially if using AS which I recommend.
See how_to:recording_census_records|> Recording Census Records for the many reasons why.

I don't see why adding Residence Witnesses needs automating, because it is easier to add multiple Witness Individuals to one Residence fact than to add a Residence fact to multiple Individuals.

One major issue with Fact Witnesses is there is nowhere to explicitly record their Age if that is known.

[Orijohnal]

I get the point that Fact Witnesses are inferior to individual census events. I wouldn't replace the AS approach with witnesses, but the belts & suspenders approach yields additional narrative detail that can be useful. In those cases, I'll suffer the additional mouse clicks. Cheers.

Are you saying that not only will each member of a household have their own Census Event as created by AS, but they will also be a Resident Witness in all the other Census Events?

Doesn't that produce a highly repetitive Narrative such as:
He appeared in the census on 7 April 1871 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He was listed as a resident in the census on 7 April 1871 in Glasgow. He was listed as a resident in the census on 7 April 1871 in Glasgow. ... etc...
