  Does 'died without issue' assume a marriage or are there occassions when you would tick both died unmarried and died without issue.  It is possible to die unmarried but to have issue although historically perhaps not common.

  terry - good point one i never gave a thought to, but i was thinking more of those of whom were married and   on occassion  we run into couples who bear the exact same names -  many of your older genealogies  bear after a married couple 'd.s.p.'   or died without issue -    i guess it was just a  jesture to future researchers to let another know the line ended there  which I have always thout was kind of nice -  of course i know there have been grave errors  on occasion  but if documented  to me I think it is a helpful hint  that one does not need to keep chasing down a line the no longer exists and one can concentrate on lines that  need  to be researched.

  Great idea! Make it a sourceable field.

  I specially like 3 and 4 as there is no way to make it visible on the tree view now (I do enter it in about me at the moment)
