An association is a relationship between two people in your file that aren't necessarily related. They could be friends, neighbors, or even something like an enslaver / enslaved person relationship.
You can add an association in two different places:
1.From the Add button on any of the People views
2.From the Add fact list when editing a person

•Association type - The type of association (friends, neighbors, etc.). You can also create your own association types.
•The 2 people - You can select the two associated people using the selection list. If the two people are reversed, you can use the "Switch roles for the 2 people" button to switch them.

•Sort date - A non-printing date used to sort the association with other events and associations
•Place - The place for the association
•Place details - The place details for the association
•Description - A short (one line) description for the association
