Teresa fir described the concept on her web site
<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/TMG.html>;

where she talks about Census Tag Sentence and Using the Language Feature to
create a census data report. Takes a look at her description and you will
see a nice example of her report. The Sentences that Teresa used for this
are a lot more complex for some of the Tags than the ones that Linda would
need (at least for the Census Tag).

In any case, all this just point out how a little preparation work with TMG
can produce quite different and exotic results.

Hope this helps -
