Hi Laura
I could not agree more with you. You summarised my feelings exactly. We all
need to work together and cut out the bitching.

Businesses that don't make money aren't around long. I *hope* they're

You only mentioned AQ in passing, but I was commenting on your way of

Certainly other programs have been mentioned in passing, but not quite the

Itzhak,
You are confusing the Family View screen which you can customise as you
have, with the Individual Information screen.
The Family View screen is just a display of your data.
The Individual Information screen is where you enter the data.
Note to enter Cause of Death you have to open
My individual information screen is already configured to show born,
died, residence, occupation, immigration.
Then, when I try to add a relative, I can easily baptize and bury
her/him. If I want to indicate immigration, occupation or
residence the event's entry screen can be found with a
Mike, I think Itzhak needs a straight event driven database model
instead of the Legacy one which treats the "Vital" Events in a special

The individual data entry screen has not changed. Birth,
Baptized/Christened/Death and Burial are still entered as the Vital
Events in the same way as all previous versions.

Legacy v. 9 was released recently but it does nor appear to have
