Sentence for Mason's

Recommended Posts

Some will suggest a separate custom tag for an organization, such as Masons, if your line has many of these. However, I choose to create custom tag sentences that are very general, and then use a split memo for the details. For example, my custom sentences for the Associatn tag that I use for all such memberships in organizations are:

Principal: [P] <was|and [PO] were> [M1]<with [WO]> <[D]><[M2]><[L]>.< [M3]>Witness:  [W] was [M1] with [P1] <and [P2]> <and [WO]> <[D]><[M2]><[L]>.< [WM]>

[M1] provides details about the association and [M2] provides details about the location in both the Principal and Witness sentences. [M3] is an optional trailing comment for the Principal(s), [WM] for each Witness. A simple example of a split memo for one person might be:

a Mason||in lodge 542||He was elected to Grand Master twice in his life

The resulting sentence might be:

Fred Jones was a Mason from 1943 to 1976 in lodge 542 in Rapid City, Iowa. He was elected to Grand Master twice in his life.

 

Hope this gives you ideas,

Another option would be to create multiple roles within the association tag.

 

The Mason Role could be set up as

[R:Mason] was a Mason <[D]><[M2]><[L]>.< [M3]>

 

You get the same resulting sentence that Michael showed without having to specify "a mason" in the memo field.
