Other places tied to Alice Munro in the record
In each of these, a source puts Alice Munro and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Alice Munro was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.

How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.

See Alice Munro on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
