We have added the ability to add "Events" to each name in your tree.

You can use the Event functionality to add information about the life of the person in your tree: when they were Christened, when they Graduated, etc. You can also use it as a marker for important items you find, like a Census record that shows where they were at a particular date.

To use the Events, simply go to the Edit Page for the person you want to add the event for. On the left hand side, just below the Birth and Death section, you'll see a drop-down box with a list of event types. Just choose one and hit "Add Event" to add a new section under "Death" where you can put in date, place and citation information.

For now you are limited to the list of about 30 predefined event type. In the near future we will provide you the ability to define your own custom event types.

This is a new feature and is still being tweaked, so be sure to let us know what you think via the Technical Forum or through our Feedback Form.
