Overview

The Person Events User Item creates Page content from the events of a designated person. This allows you to create content in your genealogy program via events (AKA facts) that is not restricted to a Person Entry.

You supply the ID number of a person whose events will be used to construct the content. The person is typically not an actual person, but rather, a non-person. To include real people in the content, share events between the non-person and a real person.

Creating content with this User Item requires some effort in your genealogy program to define and add the events. One benefit is you may be able to use the content in reports created by your genealogy program. If you use a custom event type, once you configure that event type, it should be easy to add events that are shared between the non-person and a real person and thus add content that you manage in your genealogy program.

GedSite ignores the exclusion status of the non-person when it creates the content. Typically, the non-person should be excluded from the site to avoid having the same events included via the Person Events User Item and via a Tag Set in the person entry. The non-person should be deceased. The Death event, if any, for the non-person is ignored when creating the content.
