I have Roots Magic Essentials and it doesn't look as if it is possible, it seems that I can only add birth, death, burial, marriage & divorce. Thanks.

But I've just noticed this must be the US version (I got it from rootsmagic.com) and that there is a UK version on rootsmagic.co.uk, so perhaps the UK version is different.... Do you have the UK version? I wonder what the difference is.

Do you meant that it is possible to show this information on the descendant tree/box chart?

belfhist wrote:Hi and thanks to both of you for your replies. But I'm it doesn't look like the TribalPages website does what I want. Rootsmagic doesn't either as I've already tried the Essential version then emailed the company to ask them more about it. They say "You can't include notes automatically in boxes, but you can hand enter any text into any box after the fact." I don't want to add notes later as this would mean everytime I edit the tree I'd have to re-add the notes. I want to have the option of including the notes (or other fields) on the descendant tree.
Any other suggestions please?
Thanks.
