It’s a bit late I know, but thanks for adding the birth-date column to the index – very useful

We love Roots Magic and really appreciate the constant updates to make it better. Two items we would like to see added, if possible, are:
1. A global search and replace feature for place names. In some of our name locations we have up to 15 different versions of the same place. I understand if we delete one of those names, it will affect all other places with that name and we don’t want to lose that information.
2. Could the Nickname area or another place be made available for the name known-by. Sometimes ancestors have two or three given names and it would make it much better if we could see the name they were known by if it is recorded. Thanks.

Marv, after you have updated RM on your computer, run RootsMagic To-Go and it will tell you that the version on your computer is newer than the one on the flash drive and let you update right there.

I am finding this a very good family tree program, easy to fill in and to recover.
