Marriage Banns

[nigelhorne]

Is it possible to get the marriage banns information from an individual? Try as I might I can't work out how to do it and I can't find any examples.

The tag for Marriage Bann is MARB. Underneath that is a standard EVENT_DETAIL structure with DATE, PLAC, AGE and all the other standard tags. So you should be able to access that with $i->marriage_bann;

If this is not working for you, perhaps you could post some code and associated GEDCOM?

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Not forgotten, will check.

I just tried. This "die" is never called:

print ">>>>>>>>>>", $person->as_string(), "\n";
if($person->marriage_bann()) {
	die;
}

The Gedcom contains this:

1 MARB
2 _PRIM Y
2 DATE 1912
2 PLAC Strood, St Nicholas, Kent, England
2 SOUR @S258@
