    Sue, Thanks!

     

    I had never thought of using a semi-colon. I was thinking of just "and".

    Ithink if I were going to run them together, I would remove the memo in the death tag, and put it all in the burial tag. I tend to get wordy and I am not sure that would read well in the middle of the sentence:

     

    John Earl Camp Jr. died on 19 Dec 1994 at age 100. His death certificate stated he died of lung cancer, but his family thought he just had pneumonia and was buried in Rock Creek Baptist Church, Stephens County, Georgia.

     

    Good point, Teresa. If I'm going to combine the death and burial tags on a regular basis, I need to be careful of that memo entry. Thanks.

    Has anyone tried out the new TMG 7.0 feature to connect sentences? I've tried some really basic ones. Here are a couple I tried:

     

    The first one I did was to connect a death tag and burial tag. This is the construction.

     

    The death tag was: [:CR:][:CR:][P] died <[D]> <[L]> <[A]><[M]>

    Then I changed the burial tag to be [+] and was buried <[D]> <[L]><[M]>

     

    This results in a sentence that reads: John Earl Camp Jr. died on 19 Dec 1994 at age 100 and was buried in Rock Creek Baptist Church, Stephens County, Georgia.

     

     

    Then I tried connecting Education and Graduation tags. I started with my basic Education tag of [PF] < and [PO] > attended < [L]> <[D]> <[M]>

    Then I amended the Graduation tag to [+] and graduated <[D]> <from [L]> <[M]>

     

    I then combined three tags: Graduation: [P] <and [PO] > graduated <[D]> <from [L]> <[M]>

    Education: [+]; then furthered his education <at [L]> <[D]> <[M]>

    and finally another Graduation tag: [+], graduating <[D]> <from [L]> <[M]>

     

    This final one results in the following sentence: He graduated in 1963 from Mount St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, Maryland; then furthered his education at University of Maryland, Baltimore, graduating in 1967 with a Doctorate in Dentistry.

     

    This sentence merging can become habit forming. I would like to see what other people have done.

    The only thing I would change would be to make it

     

    <, officiated by [R:Minister]>

     

    instead of

    ,> officiated by [R:Minister]

     

    That way if you didn't know the name of the minister, you wouldn't have to change the sentence structure any.

     

     

    Thanks, Teresa. That does make sense.

    Here is my Funeral tag:

     

    The Principal has the role of Deceased. The sentence is as follows:

     

    Deceased: The funeral service for [RF:Deceased] was held <[D]><[L],> officiated by [R:Minister]<. Pallbearers for the funeral were [R:Pallbearer].>

     

    Witness roles and sentences:

     

    Pallbearer: [R:Pallbearer] was a pallbearer in the funeral of [R:Deceased]<, [D]><[L], >officiated by [R:Minister]

     

    Minister: [R:Minister] officiated at the funeral of [R:Deceased]<[D]><[L]>
