In older parish registers the date recorded is that of baptism (christening), not birth; this may sometimes be given or inferred.

GenoPro 2 now can now record both sets of data but I think that the display only gives DoB.

Is it possible to add an option to display the date of Baptism where DoB is not recorded? If so the (optional) use of a different font could be used to distinguish the data source.

In one part of my family tree, in a family of 9 children, 5 were baptised on the same day. This was not unusual

Your suggestion would be great.
Before 1700 it was very common to be baptised on the same day as you were born.
Otherwise they could be easily tempted by the devil :twisted:

Yes, I also think this would be a useful feature.

Nice suggestion. I will think of a uniform approach for this solution. I suspect many users will want similar things for other things than Date of Birth and Date of Batipsm.
