Dear randy why not a place to put in marriages. I have to put it in about john francken

Yes please john francken

There's already a place to put in marriage details, on the relationships tab within the profile.

Some other useful things might be:

- better handling for multiple names (a single field doesn't do a good job of capturing the different versions)
- a way to link together the surname pages for phonetically identical names with different spelling
- a link to add people to the tree without switching to one of the tree views (i.e. from the profile page)

None of those should be hard to implement either.

Hi Jeremy, You can already add a family member from the profile without going to tree view. Go to the overview screen, scroll down to "Immediate family", scroll right and press "add family"

re: - a link to add people to the tree without switching to one of the tree views (i.e. from the profile page)

If you are using windows, put the cursor on the "view tree" link, and do a right click, open in a new tab or window. Close the window or tab when done.

Please Add an additional date field for Hebrew Date.

Yes, add Hebrew dates feature.

Yes, add Hebrew dates

Yes please!🤩

dear avik,
in My computer has a message that there is a problem with the file and can not be opened

I also forgot to let you know that the files you sent me yesterday also showed such a message. Just the file on Kalish, I could open. Maybe there's a problem with my computer, I do"nt know

I think this would be a great feature. As well as "upping" this, I added some comments concerning Hebrew-Gregorian date conversion on the feature request link.

I vote yes. Would add greater value to a researcher

I vote yes. Would add greater value to a researcher - would be even better, if there could be automatic date conversion from a Secular to hebrew or vice versa.. just thinking aloud.

For date conversion web-apps, there are a few around that are not dependent on specific spreadsheets and browser compatibility. The one I tend to use is:
https://www.hebcal.com/converter/
Jewishgen also has a converter:-
https://www.jewishgen.org/jos/josdates.htm

I think this discussion is more to do with having a converter integrated into Geni to help with automatic conversions when requested.

Yes, that would save me from having to go back and forth to other apps to convert dates as well

With so many old tombstones with Hebrew dates on my family tree, it is very important that this feature be included.
Thank you for thinking of it.

It would be very useful, as we use hebrew dates for all important events in our lives, like: birth, marriage, and death

I also want the feature

Do we still have chances it will happen one day?
