Address-Cemetery Tag & Burial Tag Mods

[ConstanceHorne 0]

I copied the Address tag, saved it as Address-Cemetery, and modified the Principal sentence as follows:

 

[P] - <Founded [D],> <[P] is located at [L].>< [M]> [:CR:][:CR:][bOLD:]The following people are buried here[:BOLD]

 

I add the Cemetery as a non-related person with the last name of Cemetery and add the Address-Cemetery and fill in the details. The start date of the cemetery goes into the date field.

 

Then under the burial tag I added a Role of Cemetery. The Cemetery Role Sentence is as follows:

[:CR:][:CR:][P1]<- [D]><, aged [A1]><. [M]>

 

I add the "Cemetery Person" as P2 to each burial. That way I can double-click on the Cemetery and go right to it without extra steps.

 

Then I run an Individual Narrative Report and get this:

 

Individual Narrative of Forest Lawn Cemetery (804)

 

 

Forest Lawn Cemetery (804) - Founded 1922, Forest Lawn Cemetery (804) is located at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Pilots Lane, Richmond, Henrico County, Virginia, 23222, 804 321-7655, 373543N0772613W.

 

The following people are buried here.

 

John Robert Chappell Jr. (23) - 4 Jan 1969, aged 70.

 

Mary Horry Eppes (24) - after 2 Aug 1972. See file folder under Chappell, John Robert Jr, for a map of Forest

Lawn Cemetery, marking where John Robert Chappell, Jr and Mary Horry Eppes Chappell are buried.

 

Edward Mitchell Eppes Jr. (221) - 19 Mar 1985, aged 85.

 

... you get the idea. Of course it looks better when it's not in plain text but this is SO Cool!

Thank you for posting this information. This is such a great idea. I created my roles and am adding cemeteries as well as updating TMG to incorporate this. I don't know a thing about all the codes, but am trying to learn it. There's so much to learn about TMG that I've never bothered to since version 4.

Boy, can I ever relate to that! Fortunately, the video tutorials opened my eyes to many of the possibilities and forums like this are adding more daily! I love it It definitely keeps the brain in tune......

I have since modified the burial tag again to add a link for Second Site to the Cemetery page as follows:

P1 would have the role of Interred and P2 has the role of Cemetery...

 

[R:Interred] was buried< [D]>< [L]><, aged [A1]><. [M][:NP:]><[HID:][sS:][html:] To see others buried at the same cemetery, go here: [R:Cemetery][:HTML][:SS][:HID]>

Well, time has passed and I understand sentences much better now.

 

I have added up to 3 spouses to print on the cemetery report so the report can remind me to look for spouses when I don't remember their names or where they are buried.

 

Note: M1 in the Burial tag is for the location within the cemetery.

 

Here is my current set up:

 

Address-Cemetery Tag

 

Principal sentence: [P] - <Founded [D],> [P] is located <at [L2],>< [L3],>< [L4]>< [L5]>.< [M].>[:CR:][:CR:][bOLD:]The following people are buried here[:BOLD]
