Thanks, Jessie

I like your idea about how to record things in notes.

I put all the details in the "Edit - Notes" field, such as the name of the parish, etc. That is also where I post my source. I use the "Edit - Notes" field to put everything about the individual even including the names of the priest, the padrinos, etc.

For "baptized at" do I enter Jalpa, San Diego de Alexandria, and in Birth place I guess I enter Rancho de Calabasas, Jalpa, San Diego de Alexandria, Jalisco, Mexico"?
