Ron, Agreed...
If they could put the little icon in the right upper corner of the childrens' container, in front of the child name, and then when you mouseover that symbol it would display the child status and relationships. So many more places could use mouseover events all of those icons on the family view page under the person could display mouseover popups with the info to review, instead of having to actually click thru to review. It would save me several thousand clicks per year! Regarding; Millennia...please make it optionally possible to display the Relationship to Parent status. Perhaps a symbol that would indicate that the child is not biological from both parents of the marriage to distinguish from the children that are. Then, thinking even further ahead, make it possible to click on that symbol to jump directly to the biological parents group sheet.
