I'm preparing to enter a bunch of Places where people lived chronologically.
In some cases it is just a town where they lived from say 1945 to 1963, and
then another place from 1963 to 1967, etc. In other cases, it is specific
addresses where they may have lived from such a year to such a year. In
many cases, it will be a combination of both. What is the best way to do
that in GenBox or can it really be done. My best idea is to have events,
but then it is confused with other situations.

Can all of this be sorted eventually chronologically in some sort of print
out? Can events and places lived also be sorted out so that a print out can
be made of where a person lived and the major events that took place while
they lived there, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Hi CheriC

When you select that Name-variant in Places View, is the box "Replace
with standard on input"?ticked?
