Another neat thing about Events used as Facts is that if you sort the
Events by dates, the undated Events (aka Facts) sort to the top, so
they're all together. You can always sort manually instead if you
prefer.

No, FTM 2005 is nothing like the very pretty Generations interface. That's
where Generations stopped - not a patch on Legacy, which does not have a
