Overview

Cause_record is part of Event_record, recording the cause of the event. They aren't often seen in GEDCOM files.

=EVENT_DETAIL:= … n CAUS <CAUSE_OF_EVENT> 0:1 …

I have added a Restriction notice, a Source_citation_record, and a NOTE. As long as you don't use these fields, the GEDCOM output will be standard. Restriction notice tags, like NOTE and SOUR tags, should be part of every record type, but they aren't.

+1 RESN <RESTRICTION_NOTICE> 0:1 +1 <<SOURCE_CITATION>> 0:M +1 <<NOTE_STRUCTURE>> 0:M

==CAUSE_OF_EVENT:= Size=1:90 Used in special cases to record the reasons which precipitated an event. Normally this will be used subordinate to a death event to show cause of death, such as might be listed on a death certificate.

The attributes are all arrays for the level +1 tags/records. * Those ending in ref are GEDCOM XREF index keys * Those ending in record are array of classes of that type. * The remainder are arrays of attributes that could be present in this record.
