Well, 50 characters ain't much when it comes to someone's life. I'm not yet 50 and I have been: stevedore tobacconist graphic designer researcher bookbinder cabinetmaker calligrapher fine artist university professor master printer antiques dealer architectural draftsman curator chef and machinist These are in no particular order. Which ones are you going to pick?

You want to record your data creatively then by all means do so. All I am saying is that if you record your data creatively then be ready to handle them creatively too. Michel Lacoursi�re [EMAIL PROTECTED] Larry replies: Due to your firm concern, without identifying how it might create a problem, I got out the manual p. 65. By coincidence, King of England is one example of proper use of Title Suffix, or any other title up to 50 characters long. If royalty titles can be entered there without creating any Legacy problems, then more humble occupation (titles) should be equally acceptable there. The problem I can foresee is that GEDCOM tranfers to other programs may not have 50 characters dedicated to Title Suffixes. But that problem would occur for any long "acceptable" titles as well.
