Multiple Addresses

As I have delved deeper into the past, it is clear that many people have lived at multiple addresses thro their lives, and I would lik to capture this information easily, so that I can make up a photo shoting list of locations. Any way to do this?

As I have delved deeper into the past, it is clear that many people have lived at multiple addresses thro their lives, and I would lik to capture this information easily, so that I can make up a photo shoting list of locations. Any way to do this?How about defining (Options->Define->Person Fields) multiple “Residence” Events? Although Reunion comes with one “Residence” Event, you can define a Residence1, Residence2, etc., and use the Date field as either a single date (e.g., start or end of residence at that Place) or, using a Custom Date, you could enter the range of dates they resided there—choosing or not choosing to provide a Sort Date when asked to do so.

There’s plenty of room in the name of the Event and the Long Abbreviation even allows “Residence#” so you can create 9 or 10 (if you don’t mind using zero) unique Residence Events. For the Short Abbreviations, you could use “Res#d”, “Res#p”, and “Res#m”. If you may export GEDCOMs, you’ll need to consider what to put in as the GEDCOM Tag. As for the Narrative Form entries, mimic what’s entered for the default “Residence” Event.

You could then set up a View that’s populated with multiple Residence Events for when you’re specifically interested in seeing that data on the Family Card, and can export a text file (File->Import/Export->Export TEXT) with those fields—which you could import into a spreadsheet program, etc.

I’ve done the same multiple, uniquely-named, Events for Emigration & Immigration so I could record where a person moved from one country to another and then another, etc.—remaining long enough to be past being a transient.
