I have been playing around with the new generational report attempting to get the ADDR added in because of the new methodology of place names precludes having the cemetery as part of PLAC and has been (or at least being) moved to ADDR which is not printed when BURI goes through its iteration when extraEvent is not blank.

I think I know where it should be but am unable to get the right wording - section here:

repeat while i < numExtraEvents

set gtag to item i of extraEvents

try

set evnt to structure named gtag

set etext to my eventDate(item (i + 1) of extraEvents, event date user of evnt, ¬

event place of evnt)

if etext is not "" then

my TextToPages(pronoun & etext & ". ", "", "")

end if

end try

set i to i + 2

end repeat

From what I can assume, there should be something in front of "event place of evnt)".  Something like "event address user of evnt, event place of evnt)"???  But this does not work and causes a nonprint of the entire line.

Is there a simple way to get this added in?

Can someone please advise on this matter?

I am generating a number of Generational reports that need the cemetery to be part of the listing and I have not found a way to get it to print.  From what I have found, it looks like ADDR is not defined anywhere however I have not found where PLAC is defined to make the attempt of defining other elements of GEDCOMs.  I have also attempted to locate a script dictionary associated with GEDitCOM II but that also seems to be either missing or hidden.

Scripts can always be customized, but it is not always easy. What you want, I think, are

1. Burial event with address (which is commonly the cemetery address) for each descendant.
2. Details on spouses, including their burial information (and note the spouses are not descendants)

I have posted new versions of the "Descendants Generations" reports (one in "Reports" folder, one in "Reports to Pages" folder and one in "Report to Word" folder) that make these customizations much easier.

1. The previous report made it easy to add extra events, such as burial, but that addition did not include an address. That process now has an option to add address for each extra event added to the report.

2. The default report has spouse names but no other spouse details. The new report scripts now have comments on how to add spouse details, which can include whatever you want (e.g., birth date and place, death date and place, parents, burial, or any other event).

The new versions are available on http://www.geditcom.com or while running GEDitCOM II by using the Utilitles->Download Script option in the scripts menu. These scripts require the latest version of GEDitCOM II.
