Not all dates discovered on an individual are necessarily births, or deaths. Many times they are "found living", born "about", baptised, christened etc.. These type of dates are nomally shown lower case prior to the date in question. e.g. fl 1377 (found living 1377).

Can the date fields be modified to allow text as well as standard date formats to allow entry and display of the terms explained. It could be limited to three characters + Date which would be sufficient to cater for the majority of possibilities.

Your points have been partly addressed. In the Birth field you can use the prefix '<' to indicate born before the date shown and the '~' prefix to show born about that date. These are recognised in the Report Generator but do not appear on the Display. To see them on a Display you need to use a Custom tag. With an existing set of data this is best set up using the XML Toolkit - one of the skins that Ron has provided for the Report Generator. This has to be downloaded as it is not part of the standard package.
For subsequent additions it is possible to add the data to the Custom tag directly, or else re-run the Tool-kit

To add to this thread > Standard Genogram Terminology

I would like to see the emotional differentiation lines more in line with the standards developed by McGoldrick,M. A. & Gerson, R. 1985, 1999.  You have done a good job for the most part.  I realize it is difficult to represent everything!

An example for change might be ... two green lines mean friendship / close.  But then you have two parallel dashed lines meaning discord / conflict.  I would rather see two dashed lines continue to mean friendship/close but using two dashed or even dotted lines to indicate less strength when compared to another relationship the IP has.  When you use two dashed parallel lines it ventures away from the swiggly line that represents conflict.  You could use a dashed or dotted swiggly line to represent discord, etc. Plus, most people still print in black and white thus the meanings connected with colours are lost. 


Thanks,

Blaine
