Agree :-D :-D

And important to keep the tree very simple and easy for King David to use. Not the nonsense we have been given. I would also like to see a much simpler way of grouping families and printing them off.

Good to see Genes are working on some of teh right things for us.

That is why it is very important for GR to update the Tree so that it can cope with the same people appearing on different branches.
