It would be great if PGV would optionally add automatically calculated parallel birth, marriage and death events from events that exist in the Gedcom file at importing or are added or updated in Online to the Gedcom. We should add CAL to the date of the automatically created records.

The entries should only be created if a parallel entry with a +/- one Julian day does not exist in the Gedcom.

After this change users will only need to create the parallel entry in cases where the event took place between sunset and midnight.

The automated creation will work for events that took place from midnight to sunset.

    After thinking again about this request, I do not want to add automatically Hebrew dates to my GEDCOM file. PGV PGV should only add these dates to Jews, but I do not record the Jews on the site, so this cannot be done.

    I will close this requirement.

    I re-open this posting as Ely Schoenfeld (elysch) has requested this function.

    1. We should not just add the CAL to these dates but new values like
    Calculated automatically
    Calculated about
    Calculated before
    Calculated after
    Calculated from
    Calculated to
    Calculated from to
    Calculated between and
    etc.

    2. Ely suggested:
    About the automatic creation of the Hebrew or the Gregorian event from the other event I guess it would be better to do it manually as a special process:

    a) Have a way to do it if you want all your dates converted

    and/or

    b) Record by Record

    and/or

    c) date by date

    That way, whenever you need to, you can easyly convert the dates, even on a case by case basis.
