want to add a note to a place, you'll have to repeat it wherever the place occurs within an event. In general is not recommended to actually use this extensively, as it leads to redundant data. The GEDCOM specification itself only allows to store location data at specific event places.
Place-specific location data (within GEDCOM) The following diagram gives an overview of the different kinds of location data, and the different ways to manage this data. Modules also provide location data (red background) and other data (orange background) to other modules. Modules displaying data (via lists, tabs, and charts) are in the top row, with a green background. The following diagram gives an overview of the Vesta custom modules. Map coordinates are also used by the 'Vesta Places and pedigree map' module for place lists and maps. The same place enhanced instead with historical GOV data:Īlso note the links to external maps, including a historical map of Europe in the 19th century: In any case, the location data is then used by the 'Vesta Facts and events' module, which enhances the data displayed for individual and family events, as shown in this example for shared place data: Based on your use case, you'll have to enable and configure the respective custom modules accordingly.
There are different ways to manage different kinds of location data. The Vesta custom modules provide functionality that overcomes these limitations. These mappings are stored independently of your tree data, outside GEDCOM. Webtrees by itself allows to map locations to map coordinates globally, via the 'Geographic data' functionality in the control panel. It is possible to add some data to a specific place record (such as a PLAC under an individual or family event), but even this is restricted to map coordinates and notes. In the current GEDCOM specification 5.5.1, there are no top-level location records which would allow to re-use location data in different places. This document describes various ways of managing location data in webtrees, based on functionality provided by the Vesta custom modules.
