  at a minimum...at least be able to add godparents if they are already in the tree (in other words, family members).  it does not have to show as lines in the tree graphic, but should be able to add to a profile under "Relationships"

  I take it back.  There is a "Baptism" section on the first page of the profile...this is where godparents' names belong

  And if you even take a closer look you will in the baptism event you find on the timeline for the person be able to add the godparents, parents and other people who was at the event, tell a story about it and add photos and videos to the event.

  There is only  "Place" and "Date" of baptism. you can not register or attach godparent at all.  i consider that this people (godparents) are enough important in our life to have connection here. Maybe it is very specified but in my county the relativism of this connection is prolongs for 14 ages.

  Again: Take a closer look.

  As a starter follow my instructions above and click on the Timeline tab of the profile (i.e not edit profile). If you have added information about baptism when editing the profile you will have a link to fill in more details on the event on the profile timeline. Use the "edit" link in the upper right corner to add more people, and you can also tell a story "About this event" section and add photos, videos and documentation if you have some.

  Finding the baptism event page is a good start, and as I said:  Use the "edit" link in the upper right corner to add more people, butyou can also mention them in them in the About this event section.

  
  Adding profiles to an event or a photo might be some tricky as a new  user. A very good advice is to open their profiles before entering the page where you want to tag people. That will place these people on your recently view shortlist so they will pop up when starting typing their name. Alternatively you can enter their profile-ID (a long number in the start of their url) and click Search More.

  I used Bjorn's idea and was able to "Add People" in the Timeline event.  But I had to add them manually -- cannot choose from family in the tree.  You can label each person, so I labeled them "Godfather" and "Godmother".  But this is just a stopgap because as Giorgio points out, you cannot actually link these people in the tree.  That would be real nice!!   And they do not show up in the Baptism section of the person's profile. 

  The Timeline can be used, but clearly there is a lot of room for improvement for godparents.  Geni staff?

  thanks James. you  have exactly caught my point .  for me some time is difficult to express the idea maybe do to my low level of  English .
