| If I were to change a a person's calendar from Gregorian to Hebrew, it changes everything to Hebrew, when I just want a few individuals, also, there is a problem when I put the person's birth a Julian, I can't put death to Gregorian.

This is by design, GenoPro works with only 1 calendar at the time.

You should rethink about this. Just to see the two examples:
1. the tree spans several centuries, where the Julian and Gregorian dates will definitely be mixed. And the change from Julian to Gregorian happened different times in the different countries.
2. the tree spans several continents. Some details are in Gregorian (people came from Europe), some are in Japanese...
My opinion is - I wrote in a topics far ago, so I could not really remember, when - that two types of calendars must be maintained by GenoPro. One is the so-called reference calendar, which is used solely by Genopro internally for calculations and to store the values. The other type of calendar is for presentation purposes, i.e. used to display the reference date value in a format the user prefers (also in reports). This means, that you should maintain the cross referencing between the reference calendar and the display calendars.
Moreover, this will let you (after 2.0 :P, of course) to let the user defining their own calendars. Like for the old Kingdom of Egypt, or fictional calendars, like for the Lord of the Rings.

| Fully agree that a priority for v.3 should be the ability to use more than one calendar. The records that I am looking at span the change from Julian to Gregorian, so I need to use both. As it is at present, the ability to use the Julian calendar is of no use to this work. Luckily it is only important for records in the first three months of the year and I can use the old notation of 1712/13
