Ok, John, you're right that there is information there. But without a date, I still wouldn't
care -- others will no doubt differ.

But I think your example points out a fallacy in the "Group common places" option that I hadn't
thought of. Your example shows a report that says Eunice was born in Chester, which we don't
know to be true. The family may have moved there and had her baptized after the move. This
potentially misleading info would be avoided if the option were turned off. I learn something
every day.
