Divorce date [31 October 2011]

The "Vonnis van de arrondissementsrechtbank te Leeuwarden d.d. 28 juni 1870 " date must not be official right? The divorce is not final until the local gemeente registers it? There were two Echtscheidingsakte, one in Dantumadeel on 22 Dec 1870 and one in Oostdongeradeel on 19 Dec 1870 - is the earlier one the "official" date? --Jennifer (JBS66) 16:00, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

The official divorce is Leeuwarden 28 Jun 1870, which is also registered at the sideline of the marriage-record. To make it correct I think we need to make 3 entries. During gedcom-upload this is a bit complicated, but I would lik to leave it up to you!--Klaas (Ekjansen) 17:06, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
Ok, I made a few edits - just let me know if this is what you meant by making "3 entries". --Jennifer (JBS66) 17:17, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
I think this is correct, but I am a bit unhappy with the readability. To have 3 entries for one fact seams a little overdone, the other solution could be to give 3 sources for this one fact, but because the data of the records is different you could plea for 3 entries.--Klaas (Ekjansen) 02:38, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

Sorry for being so complicated. I think, now it's much better to understand, they only divorced once but there are 3 records (sources). Thank you for handling this. --Klaas (Ekjansen) 09:53, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

You weren't being complicated! This is something I've been wanting to understand how to handle, so this provided a good opportunity to do that :) I do think this version reads better too. --Jennifer (JBS66) 09:56, 31 October 2011 (EDT)
