Michael Knapp Adding fields for the hebrew name, and storing and ideally displaying the date of death in the hebrew calendar prominently in the tree would make it possible to use this software for jewish genealogy. These enhancements would be a HUGE help.

賈寶玉(二) Chia Pao-yü I likewise would like a Chinese calendar support, and automatic conversion would be great too (though nearly impossible to calculate). For historical profiles (and historiography in general) it really doesn't serve anyone any good to convert to Western calendar. Any minimal interaction with the West was delayed by months, if not years, of travel time that exact date is irrelevant.
Currently what I'm doing is to include the exact (Chinese) dates in the description of the birth event, or what have you.

Chuck Bury This is a useful feature for anyone with Jewish relatives because Jewish graves are often marker year of birth and death in both the 'normal' calendar and the Hebrew calendar - because the years don't line-up, this can narrow down the specific date of birth to a much smaller (typically either 3.5 or 8.5 month) period than a full year.
