I am the person who initially wrote the email regarding Christening on the
individual page. I understand that events can be added and changed on the
family page but my goal was to be able to use the Chr "field" on _the
information page_ for something else. If it stays "Chr" on that page then it
is valuable screen real estate that is going to be empty. (Just like the title
fields.)
I would rather use that field for something else on the individual information
page.

My suggestion was that each person create Events relevant to the people in the
file, not that Legacy add myriad events to its Event Definitions.
