I tested an early version of the new place enhancements (still a long way from ready) and only did it on a test database.
One of my tests was using the new Place Event feature. What I created was events for different relatives at the battle of Gettysburg and specifically at Little Round Top. I created a shared event with relatives that fought with the same units and then shared these events with the Place (the Battlefield). I had relatives with the 20th Maine and a one with the 83rd Pennsylvania.
All this information could be found in the place’s References tab but sharing the event with the place created a very nice representation. And I have other relatives who were at Gettysburg that I did not fully integrate in this little test.
