We all work in different ways. In my research, I came across someone from Mottisfont, Hants (a tiny village) & the name rang a bell - so I looked at Master List/Location for Mottisfont & yes, Sarah Judd came from there - so I wanted to go to her in my tree to see where she and the Mottisfont entry fitted in.... There are other ways of getting there - would mean searching for every Sarah Judd in my tree & checking them. A click-to-entry solution would be easier & cleaner and take you directly to the individual's screen. You can edit the data perfectly well, better, in fact, from there.
So yes, please - that would be a useful enhancement. On 09/10/2011 22:43, Ron Ferguson wrote: > Please accept my apologies for a preference for simplicity.
