I have some people with quite a few residence events. Combining them would make the Complete Individual report look better, but in some cases might not be the correct thing to do. An option to collapse similar events would be interesting. > I will say this much though, for inaccuracies, I think early city > directory information gatherers could give census takers a run for > their money. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Got visibility? > Most devs has no idea what their production app looks like. > Find out how fast your code is with AppDynamics Lite. > http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;262219671;13503038;y? > http://info.appdynamics.com/FreeJavaPerformanceDownload.html > > > _______________________________________________ > Gramps-users mailing list > Gra...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users |
