Feature Request Number: 14211 As outlined on the feature request, it would be useful if, as well as having divorced, annulled and married for relationship events/Civil Union, Married, Never Married, Unknown for Family Status, to have a status or event (perhaps both?) of Separated for couples that a…

I agreed @ 200 % !!! :+1: As GRAMPS is an acronyme for Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System and not a GEDCOM editor as many other software like Ancestris, Webtree… It’s so nice feeling that I’m not alone to think that GEDCOM should be considered as an (old) export proto…

Coming rather late in this discussion. I use Family as a “container” for a relationship between two persons, relationship which can end up in new offsprings.

and on the matter of betrothals? are they to be folded into Engagements or will do you feel they warrant being distinct? (just thinking of more historical circumstances were the arrangement of marriage, rather than simply the couple deciding for themselves e.g.)

Back to the open question on Betrothal: historically it’s not just an earlier stage of Engagement. A betrothal was often arranged by parents/guardians, sometimes with binding legal or financial consequences, independent of the couple’s own consent - unlike a modern Engagement. An important informati…

[image] ML8991: I am happy though however it is approached, just would be good to see an expansion to the statuses of unions, given the limited options currently present of Civil, Religious, Alternate, Unmarried, and Unknown (by the way, is there a way to force Unmarried before Unknown, or must …

Alternatively because I hate multiple embedded drop down lists From eventtype.py (my version) _MENU = [ [ _T_("Regularly"), {First displayed on right arrow click) [BIRTH, BIRTH_REG, BAPTISM, MARRIAGE, MARR_REG, DEATH, DEATH_REG, BURIAL, CREMATION,PROBATE,],…
