[edit] Tips and tricks

  • Take care of typographic case!
  • It is possible to chose several events types in the list : Ctrl+click wit windows. The nature of events will be shown in the list of answers, line by line.
  • All fields are optional except the place.
  • When the event date has not been entered in the person profile (or family), this plug is not found if limits mini / maxi were listed in the search engine. To find the undated events, do not give search dates.
  • For dates prior to the year one thousand, you still have to enter the four-digit (0800 to the year 800, for example)
  • Not working before January 1 of the year 0001 ...
  • The advanced search functions on all of the database in any language. So a search for "all events" can give more results than the "linked pages" for a page "Location:" given. The "linked pages" function takes into account that the english version.
