Subject: Re: [TMG] Enhancement Request--P2 surety when adding spouse

Yes this a minor inconvenience but personnally I would rather have the
P1 surety blank as it may be different than the name/relationship surety
TMG uses. TMG does not know what surety to put in for P2.

Also you have to open the citation to add the sureties for the date,
place and memo.
