Like Rae Jean (who posted the original question) I am reviewing my data
entry with Second Site in mind. I am assuming two things (please
correct me if I am wrong)

1. that PARX refers to the ability to say "so and so" is the son/dau of
"so and so"
2. that you want the ability to include this in 2ndSite where entries
are not linked in the manner of a desc. narrative or a register style
report, but that you don't want to include it in certain TMG reports.
Is that correct?

If so, it would seem to me that it would actually be a useful addition
in register style reports where a child's narrative might be pages
removed from his parents', but I can see where it might seem redundant
in desc. narratives where the children are listed directly under their
parents. Are there other implications? Other situations where you want
to differentiate between what goes into TMG and what goes into 2nd
Site?

I am not jumping up and down with enthusiasm at the idea of creating
more tags (as you can tell from my other posts I have plenty of them
already) but I also want to make sure I understand what is causing
someone to want to go to the effort to do so.

Thanks!
