Place of birth and place of death
Hello WikiTreers,
Today we added two much-requested fields to person profiles: place of birth and place of death. Although you could enter this info in the wiki biographical space, genealogists have pointed out to me that having separate database fields will enable sorting and searches in the future. These fields will also be necessary when we implement “GEDCOM” data importing and exporting.
WikiTree is designed to be flexible. You don’t need to enter anything in these fields. If you click the “blank for extra privacy” for birth place and/or “blank because still living” for death place they won’t appear as outstanding questions and nobody else in your family will be tempted to answer them.
Keep your suggestions coming.
Chris
