The 'problem' is that we can not tell about both countries in CFTW, but we should not let that confuse us. We just have to enter the most descriptive place in CFTW, and that is obviously the place the person went to. John was born, christened, and most possibly also married in Norway. This is then clearly the place he emigrated from. We then only need to tell about the place he emigrated to, and that is USA. This is exactly what CFTW does to day, and that is correct. >I think you should stick with the current version. Yes for sure!!! Let us not be confused any more in this matter. Erik
