People Who Share a Fact with a Principal List – Query #sharedevent #person

Description

Sharing of facts was a new feature added with RootsMagic 4. A Person or Family in the database (a Principal) is now able to share a fact with others either in a tree in the database file by linking to them or with those not in a tree in the file by indicating name only. Those people sharing the event with the Principal are each assigned a role in that fact/event.

Reporting and other capabilities within the program relative to shared facts haven’t yet been fully developed (as of current version RM 4.0.7.1). However, the following SQL code can be run against the database in order to obtain that information, as well as relevant fact and Principal data:

Add date field to query

I have been using the query “People Who Share A Fact with a Principal List” for data entry checking for shared events. I find it very useful except for one field which is, at least for my purposes, missing. That field is the date of the event. One parent or couple can share several censuses with a child and while all are listed in the query results it would be a lot easier if the date were also there. I would modify the query myself except it does not query the event table which contains the fact date and I’m not sure how to construct the correct links. If anyone has some spare time (ha, ha) and can add the date, well, that would be great.
Thanks, John Weaber

If you are content with the raw date data, it is probably not a big deal to add a date column; decoding the raw data into more human readable form is. You can see what’s involved on the Date Decoder page. I wonder if one of the Lifelines queries might answer your needs – they include decoded dates and shared events. Copy and paste results into Excel or Calc and you can sort and filter.

Just a short word of thanks – this query is perfect for what i need. Thanks for taking the time. Hopefully I can add to the list at some point.

Romer authored this query and I am sure he shares my appreciation for your word of thanks. His query found its way into several other more complex ones.

Feel free to contribute to the wiki something you have come up with at anytime. The more, the merrier!
