better baptismal date entry -

i feel this should be a part of the main profile  datae entry  tale - instead of a "go back and edit feature"

 

many of the very early dates are baptismal dates only  and they are being entered as brith dates which is incorrect   to do - baptismal dates are not birth dates!  only if stated as  also being  the birthday on  the 

i would like to see this one the main data entry profile  instead of having to go back and edit the profiles

thus one can enter the baptismal date without alot of trouble into the proper  blank  many are still entering a baptismal date as  the birth date which is very very incorrect to do  a batpismal date  IS NOT THE BIRTH DATE  unless stated as  the birth and baptism date on the batismal certificate/entry - this is a  very very bad assumption that is being promoted by  many people who are doing genealogy and those who have done it in the pass - -  

once it  has been entered as such  it is very very hard to correct back to what the date was -  and keep it as the  baptismal date.  people  write back and  say I found it in such and such tree as the birth date in the  trees on Ancestry.com,  the LDS records etc. -  once  published  in such records whether as paper form or  on internet - it is taken as "gospel fact' and  very hard to correct.

 

also  like in other programs  the baptismal date  should show up as an optional  if no birth date is given and   thus  their is a source for matching profiles
