    Is it possible to have family events that have occurred after the deaths of both parents, appear in chronological order on the Personal Facts and Details tab of each of the parents? This would be like the MARR event. It seems that a posthumous family event will show only on the Family page and it simply is not shown on the individual INDI pages.  It seems the only way to show such an event on an INDIs page is to create an identical event for each INDI.

    Advice and assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

    The most recognizable post-death genealogical event is BURI, an INDI event, not a FAM record event.
    In general, anniversaries or celebrations of life are not considered part of the genealogical record, although you may wish to record these as part of your tree. In terms of the standard, the family ceases to exist after the death of both partners and family events occurring after the death of one of the partners will no longer be considered applicable to the deceased INDI and will not show on their page.

    PGV will not display post DEAT family events onto the INDI display page.

    Thanks Stephen,

    This is as I suspected. To get around this, I have created an undated posthumous FAM EVEN and added the date in the description. This way it displays in the FAM view as well as the INDI view, but not in chronological order. You can see what I have done here:

    Thanks for your prompt reply,

    Stuart
