Karla,
I'm not sure what you mean by "structure". I just create the name of a tag
that I want. As for Tag Sentences, I don't tend to use standard TMG
Sentences, but I usually just type out what I want in the Sentence field, for
example: "In 1819, Jesse Liles of Union County, South Carolina, sold 946
acres in Union County to Nathaniel Gist, also of Union County, for five
shillings. [M]" [This pretty obviously was a gift upon the marriage of a
daughter.) I put the rest of the information in the deed in the Memo field.
You can make another party to a deed the [PO], for example, or a [W]. Which
persons you wish to add to your data base is a personal decision. I will add
them to my data base as Witnesses (for example, witnesses to the deed) if
they were very closely allied to my family or inlaws.
Let me know if this doesn't answer your question, Karla.
Frankie
