I'm fine with that, but not what I was asking. I can tell I'm not being clear. I'll try again. If I do a 3-page write up of my grandfathers WWII campaigns in Saipan, I'm thinking it would be nice to slip this into something like a Descendant Narrative right after or before his details. I don't

I like this idea, and plan to try it. As with any conversation is evolves and takes different thought paths through out. It does make it hard to follow sometimes, especially in email form. I do think we have just about wrapped this one up though, so I'll summarize what I think has been said.
