Ahnenblattportal

Just downloaded Anenblat and entering sample data. All is good so far but how does Anenblatt handle divorce data (date, place, etc.)?

So far, I really like Anenblat. Entry is very logical and easy. Great Job!

Hello Ken.

as far as I know, Ahnenblatt doesn't care too much about divorce data.
However, you can add this info in the remarks or sources tab (sorry I don't have the English version at hand). I'll translate your question to the mainly German speaking community.
(BTW For simple translations refer to leo.org)


Hallo Forum-Leser,
Ken fragt, ob man in Ahnenblatt Scheidungsdaten eingeben kann?

Gruß,
Peter

Hi Ken,

right now there is no special field or function for divorces. Most users use the marriages-form and a "from-to-date" (with the marriage) to deal with that. Other just note it in the "notes"-area of Ahnenblatt.

However, the next release of Ahnenblatt makes a big leap and it looks like we'll be able to deal with almost all types of sources and input:
Ahnenblatt 3.0 - Preview

The release is still some weeks/months away but it looks like it (to get all the routines like input, output, printing, saving etc. updated) will be worth the time to wait

Thank you Peter & Marcus. I tried the format 'xx/xx/xxxx to xx/xx/xxxx' in the 'on' field and that will work for now. I can put detailed divorce information in the 'Notes' tab. Thanks for the prompt replies.

Hi Peter,
you actually have the English version at hand.
Sometimes things are to close to see them.

Just go to "Sprache (language)" and you have 14 additional language versions.

Ken:
I am using this symbol o|o behind my marriage date to indicate a divorce.

more symbols:
o > engaged
oo > married
o-o > relationship
I oo > 1. marriage
II oo > 2. marriage
o/o > separated
o|o > divorced
