I noticed after importing a gedcom that when one of a couple dies, the marriage does not seem to end.
The next marriage gets the same family number. After a divorce event the next marriage gets a higher number.
So I looked how to add an event of type “widowed” as I saw mentioned somewhere, but I cannot find it.
What do I have to do to mark a marriage as ended by the death of a partner?
Thanks for the answer.
That number is not an index of the Family. It is a count of the “Family” Events under that marriage. Note: this is not limited to Events having the “Family” event role.
So if you (use arrowhead gadget at the left to) collapse the “Genzin - 2” [Family - 2] in the Person Editor, you still know there are 2 Events data to explore.
You can add custom Types to any drop-down list by simply typing it in. An event type “Widowed” could become unwieldy as the person remarries. But as always, there is no one way of doing things within Gramps. Each user works their database that best suits their needs.
Note: any custom type will not translate if that feature is important to you.
