Brian Gross 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 Hi, I am trying to decide the best way to document someone who made two attempts to emigrate to the US, being deported on the first attempt. I use the standard emigrate, event-misc and immigrate tags for this situation. These tags produce an individual narrative that has this basic structure. He emigrated on Date #1 from xx. He was deported on Date #2 at yy. He emigrated on Date #3 from xx. He immigrated on Date #4 to yy. This is acceptable but is a bit lumbering. (Ignoring the grammar that needs correction.) Note that I use "emigrate" for "attempted to emigrate". Is that something I should consider handling differently? Does anyone have a different way to handle this situation? Perhaps something that produces a smoother individual narrate? Thanks for your help! Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
