I will need to do some more work on trapping such issues, but in the short term can you explain the use of “autocomplete”?

Will do. I’m surprised he couldn’t work it out for himslf – he’s spent the last 15 years working for Google and Apple – perhaps that’s the reason ! I have noticed in the past that if I make the same mistake in entering a source in any Facts & Events item, my text appears in red as an unreferenced source. This would be the ideal way to handle it if possible.

Regarding the “closest ancestor” for a Mother/child relationship – what would you expect to see?

Surely the mother’s father (who is the child’s grandfather) is the first of their many shared ancestors?

Regarding “change” notification – I do see the logic of wanting a “change notification”

Is this the only case where changes to the database/tables (albeit not the GEDCOM itself) could be made by someone with edit authority without my being notified, or are there others? I have always been keen to have the last word on changes to ensure the integrity and overall accuracy of the data.
