The titles only duplicate the current functionality. The do not refer to
the children on each individual page but the subject who has been set in the
Tools/Set Relationships dialog. If you set it to your self the the titles
will show how the people displayed on that page are related to your self,
and if you clear relationships these will be blank. Having said that they
are probably too prominent, especially since if relationships are cleared
there will be nothing there.
In the current version I don't like the fact that there are few explicit
buttons. You generally have to go clicking around to see what functionality
is there. I'm sure that this is against the style guidelines - although it
is some time since I've been a developer.
And yes lets have a look at what is on the name view. I assume that this is
the name list, but in a better format - a huge improvement if it is.
The individual information and sources pages need tidying up as well.
Is this work going to find its way into V4?
Otherwise great program. (in case people think my constant whingeing means I
don't like Legacy :)

John
