Win 11 AIO64-5.2.3-r1-aa03f5a A Village has belonged to several municipalities. I have created the village, then ‘Enclosed by’ Municipality number one, date 1812-01-01. Back to the village ‘Enclosed by’ Municipality number two, date 1818-01-01. And finally back to the village and added the third ‘…

The dates you set are specific dates. On those dates the village will be in that municipality. Enclosed by, and alternative names, should have from <date1> to <date2>, after <date> or before <date> date ranges.

You need to use a Range when setting Enclosed By. [Screenshot 2024-11-09 at 11.45.31 AM] This will then show the correct place hierarchy with the event. [Screenshot 2024-11-09 at 11.43.20 AM]

Also, please note that your sample Place hierarchy did not include Latitude and Longitude coordinate values. Event in Places without coordinates cannot be plotted in Geography views. You should add coordinates while you are correcting the date ranges for the Places.

But mostly I only know place names, which might be large cities, and until now I find merely pointing roughly at the center of the city not very satisfying. However when I do know a house or a street I will add the coordinates. This also because I h…

Thanks, Brian, I do understand that, I understand those points are an approximation. So you can roughly follow the trajectory of individual. I’ll look into that. And probably adopt your suggestion.

[image] ursus: And probably adopt your suggestion. I was using your data to try an experiment with AI adding the coordinates. (Found a "leading zeros issue but the workaround is to use the Tools → Family Tree Processing → Reorder Gramps IDs on the Place IDs first.) In Places List view, custo…

I haven’t put in coordinates for counties yet, Im curious as to how you decide where the pin goes for them? Looking at your example for the Netherlands, thats just next to a history museum

In my own tree, I tend to accept the GeoNames coordinates from the Place Cleanup addon gramplet, and fallback to Wikipedia coordinates. GeoNames says that it tries to use the centroid of the bounding outline. Then plot all the Places enclosed by a particular Administrative region (like a Country o…
