How do I edit the immigration sentence template? Mine is [person] immigrated< [Date]>< to [Place:plain]> from <[PlaceDetails]>. but when reading the results the word ‘at’ is before <[PlaceDetails]>. i.e., John Doe immigrated in 1844 to United States from at North Ireland
The “:Plain” option should remove the “at” .
[person] immigrated< [Date]>< to [Place:plain]> from <[PlaceDetails:plain]>.
It seems to me that the your sentence has a deeper problem than the “at”. Namely, genealogy software and genealogy data models only support one “place” item per event. This is true across genealogy software and genealogy data models writ large. It is not just the way RM does it. It’s the way all genealogy software does it.
RM’s [PlaceDetails} is itself non-standard, but its purpose is to provide a subordinate place to go with a main place, such as a cemetery name to go with a city, county, state, country. [PlaceDetails] can be used in a similar manner with other subordinate places such as church names for weddings or funerals, and hospital names for births or deaths.
The standard way to handle immigrations is with two facts. In your case, that would be an Emigration fact from North Ireland and an Immigration fact to United States.
