Re: [Gramps-devel] Maps , places and addresses

[Nick H. <nic...@ho...>]

Bernard,

An address cannot be linked to a place.

If you choose to use a Residence event instead of an Address the 
timespan will be stored in the event.

It would be quite easy to write a plugin to convert Addresses into 
Residence events, but I am not aware that anyone has written one yet.

Nick.
