Hi all,

I have been debating with myself how I should handle the growing number
of entries in a spreadsheet for appearances in City Directories. I
thought about creating a custom "City Directory" tag, a la the "Census"
tag that already exists. If I do, will that get exported in gedcom if I
ever need to do an export?

On the other hand, there is the standard "Residence" tag that could be
used. Since this IS a standard tag, it will definately be
exported...correct?

Frankly, I don't forsee a need to worry about custom tags, but since I
haven't done any great amount of entry as of yet, figure I should
consider it for future consequences.

What are other people doing regarding handling City Directory
information? And what about custom tags in general? Are people using
them regularly??

Later,

Robert
