I mean the possibility you get when you want to share an event with one or more people:
1) Select from the name list 2) Just enter the name of a person. In option 1 you get the name list of all existing people (master list I call it) In option 2 you get a menu where you can write whatever e.g. "Donald Duck" but "Donald Duck” will not show up in the master list and you cannot search for him later. In the beginning seemed option 2 pretty good but I quickly noticed that it wasn’t! One example again: I have never before recorded the priests that christened or married people but I took a look in the church record for the christening of my grandmother (mother’s mother) who was born 1900 in northern Finland and I knew the name of the priest, I had photos of him! 25 years later he had moved 400 kilometres (250 miles) and christened my mother and uncle. I don’t (at the moment) think he in any way was related to my grandmother but who knows.... 2015-05-23 20:47 GMT+02:00 William Hoff <bh...@mchsi.com>: > By entering in the Master List do you mean as a name.
