(I meant to send this to the list.) I think there might have to be more than five top wants, just for functionality of data transferred. I don't use roles, split memos or split citations. I do attach everyone in a record to the event. Everyone. Occasionally, but not very often, I need to sort sources. I do use Alternate Names. If it couldn't be an Alternate Name, it could be a Second Name (or whatever). In genealogical research, I think it is important to note alternate spellings and to be searchable in a Pick List (or whatever it would be called). I do write a lot of text and need a decent Tag Entry Screen. Reports are very important to me and especially the Individual Narrative Report in TMG. I enter flags but could live without them. I need an Associates window to track migrations, and I very much like having the choice to have (in TMG) Details, Children, Siblings and Associates all showing on one screen. This saves lots of time. I also like to be able to look at the children by different wives (or husbands) in the Family window. This is just off the top of my head. Frankie In a message dated 9/28/2014 10:17:28 P.M.

The TMG mail list posts are not representative of average TMG users. This TMG-Refugees list is much less so. I've been in a TMG users' group for around 11 years with quite a few people coming and going. Most don't use roles, don't split memos, don't split CDs... I suspect that's true of the majority of TMG users. Items such as alternate names, quality of narrative and other reports, place entry more like TMG's, and sort date might be more likely to make a "top five" list. Bob Velke, in his July announcement, stated there is an insufficient market for advanced features. Other programs may not be willing to take that risk. For the record, I do use roles including occasionally principal roles, do split memos, and do sometimes split citations. Barbara S.
