I can appreciate the option about the Alt. Birth, but if a place name is put into the place name field on the events list for Alt. Birth, doesn't that also show up in the normal place list? But there is that extra description column that could be used for the "probably" that would not show up in the location list. Am I correct about that? --Jerry
