Brian and Cheryl, "Nationality" and "ethnicity" are two different things -
Nationality (Merriam-Webster) is defined as : a group of people who share the same history, traditions, and language, and who usually live together in a particular country : the fact or status of being a member or citizen of a particular nation The same dictionary defines ethnicity as 1: ethnic <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethnic> quality or affiliation <aspects of *ethnicity*> 2*:* a particular ethnic affiliation or group <students of diverse *ethnicities* Ethnic is further defined as : of or relating to races or large groups of people who have the same customs, religion, origin, etc. : associated with or belonging to a particular race or group of people who have a culture that is different from the main culture of a country So the preamble is correct in stating "nationality" and not including "ethnicity". IMHO, ethnicity should be recorded as an event and if it's desired to see the ethnic origins of the people in the database, either a Detailed Search or an Event Report on that specific event.
