Fantastic improvement but I wish it had been there about 4 years ago !

This improvement is long overdue and too late to be of much help to me, but it is nonetheless welcome and will I’m sure be appreciated by many users.

I agree with previous posters about the failure of the system to always pick up other family members, something that can happen for example when some members of a family are staying away from the family home on census night (their relationships are then shown as being to the head of the household rather than to the head of their own family). Perhaps one day it will be possible to add other members of a household using this facility, regardless of whether or not they are shown as sons, daughters, spouses etc on the schedule.

I agree with Simon the act of adding both parents for a large bunch of kids can be a bind. But this new option is a real advance which I wish was around a year ago. Well done, thanks.

I noticed this the other day – handy.

Sometimes, however, it fails to pick up other family members and I have to add all the children individually and then add the parents individually to each child – which could surely be better automated.

this will be a great addition, had to ignore some records in the past as they kept insisting it was a new person and i couldnt adjust it,
