    Entering facts about person and family?

    Where do you enter facts for the place of residence of individuals and families?

    Suppose I have the following facts:
    Person A lived at address A from 1850 to 1860. Person B lived at address A from 1850 to 1858. Person A and B were married in the period 1850 to 1858.​

    Do you only enter the address facts for the individuals or only for the family? Or do you enter the facts for the individuals and the family?

    I hope the question is somewhat clear.

    First I would enter these as events, and not facts - events have a date and a place associated with them which these do.

    I enter these as Events for the individuals, and not for the Family since the Family in Reunion as a different meaning and construct than for example a succession of census events that might show that in 1841 the "family" was a newlywed couple, then in 1851 it's the couple and 4 kids, but by 1871 it's the couple and only the youngest kid, so attaching that succession of census events to the family doesn't respect the changing make up of the family over time.

      You are right, I enter them as events. There was a mistake in the translation, I use the Dutch version.
