Al,
upto day both terms meant the same to me with only the difference due to the
church or the area using the terms but due to your question I got unsure and
thus transalted both terms to German and supprise, supprise.
They both mean the same.
German: Taufe
Because of this.
Put it this way a person baptised becomes a christian and thus was "christened"
;-).
The way this is displayed in the Family View if Baptism or Christening, I think
is a personal decision.
In your case, with a majority Baptised, I'd choose Baptised.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Baptism and Christening
I have a question that I hope can be answered by the LUG.
Is there a way to put the word "Baptized" that is apparently defaulted to Chr
and displayed in the Family View screen? Most of the hundreds of members of my
family and adjunct families were Christians and baptized in the Christian Church
but not christened.
I do have a few Christening certificates and, for those individuals, I do want
to show a christening place and date but only for those individuals where it is
true. In those cases, I don't want the display identifier to be "Baptized".
I do know that the Chr can be changed (though only from a select list) but it
appears to change all the basic format and apply to ALL individuals which would
be untrue for ALL individuals in the file. I did change from the default Chr to
'LDS: Baptism' just to see if it would work but it doesn't seem to change all
the "sub-screens".
I've gone through all the HELP information and must have missed something that
allows this. Surely, others have faced this issue also. Does anyone know how
to make this work so I am able to make the information truthful for EACH
individual?
Thanks.
Al Mieswinkel
