So my first task in changing over to fields was to get Tidgraph to work
with a father field and a mother field. I spent a couple of hours on this
trying to get Tidgraph to show the parents, but I was unable to do so. The
only way that I have been able to get Tidgraph to do what I wanted was to
have a parents field and the father and mother separated by a semicolon. I
could then use a filter as the mode in Tidgraph to separate the two. I
really didn't care for this approach. For the time being, I'm sticking with
the tags approach until I can figure out either a way to get Tidgraph to do
what I'm looking to do or use Tony's suggestion of a CSS approach.
