1 year ago The way the other details are generated is primarily from abbreviations, synonyms and titles or roles.
There is a relation mappable between a person and a location, this is stored in the table cofk_person_location_map.
select * from cofk_person_location_map where relationship_type = 'was_born_in_location';
gives a total of 169 results, indicating that it's not very highly used (see data-1683123068999.csv)
Take for instance, location_id = 59, Utrecht.
There is a mapping between Utretch and cofk_union_person-iperson_id:000901275, Vanlore, Peter (Sir).
His Names and titles/roles field reads:
Vanlore, Peter (Sir) ~ Synonyms: Sir Peter Vanlore the Elder; Pieter van Loor ~ Titles/roles: first baronet; merchant, jeweller, and moneylender; paternal grandfather of Jacoba (Vanlore) Zinzan/Alexander
with no indication of Utrecht as a result he does not show up in the results if you search for "Utrecht"
Using another example, Abingdon (location_id = 653). There is not a single result in cofk_person_location_map for that location.
However if you search for people using "Abingdon" you get 11 results, including
Dayrell, Walter~ Titles/roles: of Abingdon, Oxfordshire
This seems to be an incorrectly generated title, where the title itself is missing but the location isn't.
Conclusion There does not seem to be a functioning feature in EMLO Edit old that makes associated locations searchable via the Names and titles/roles field in people search.
According to the blurb on the form label for Other details in person search, this should search
Summary of any other information about the person or group, including membership of organisations, known geographical locations, researchers' notes and related resources.
