Enable automated location flags or other visual queue as alternative to photos

When looking at trees esp of older generations, it would be helpful if one could see visually the country / place of origin of each person. Given the birth date & location information geni could look up the flag / icon for that place (& time e.g. Scotish flag). This would give a visual cue of immigration and general heritage source. I often find a flag or other icon for the person but it would be good to do this automatically. It would be a tree option 'Show birth [& death] location icons for people [without pictures]. This would probably even be better than the general alternative of 'gravestone' which is often the only visual image of an ancestor. People that changed location could show a split. On a related note, you could also use the 'blank' areas that trees leave to show additional information about the person (e.g. show birth location & death location). Instead of all the blank space & lines it would be good to attempt to make use of the space available. Thanks again. Ted
