The Master Genealogist

6.0

I am in no way affiliated with Whollygenes software but I do use TMG 6.xx. These tag sentences have been created by myself and others to be used in TMG 4.0-6.xx. 

This page was created so that new users of TMG 6.xx could see all the varied ways you can use TMG to create sentences. Some are very complex, others are very simple. That is the beauty of TMG-it allows the users a lot of flexibility in how their data is stored and printed out. Just pick the type of sentence you want to create, and then go to the pages for that type of sentence.

Before you start working with sentences, you need to set up roles.  UFT covered this much better than TMG does.  Chuck Wolfram has set up a website that explains how to use roles and also has a link to a database of roles that have already be created.  It also has source templates that you can copy as well.  Check out Chuck's site  for more information.  Thanks Chuck for making this available to us!

Burial Group Tag Sentences

TMG uses the Burial Group tags for events that involve all burials or events usually substituted for burial. Even though I use the OTHER group for obits and the like, since they tend to revolve around the burial event, I am including them here. I would put them in the OTHER group within TMG.
