Please raise the 65,000 name limit some. Over 65,000 namees you lose "Relationships" and other valuable Tree functions!!!!

I AGREE NORM!

I have not got as many as 25,000 Names on my main site and I am finding BIG PROBLEMS adding Names to Tree Images that I usually create to explain DNA or Cousin connections. If your ancestral line has several ancestors with the same name - ONLY 15 WILL SHOW - and you cannot add the birth year to define the one you want! So I have had to go through my Tree, find the NAmes that I cannot get and I decided to add a T on the end of the forename to differentiate it from the rest... only then was I able to select it from the list... Then once all the Names were on, I had to go through the damn Tree again and delete all the 'T's I needed to sort out this new issue.

ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING!!!!!

Never had that particular problem....
This is a recent problem that has arisen since the Dates have been hidden on the Names when they are selected to be on photos/images or when Names are searched for when you want to add a Name to a Photo/Image...

You cannot see any dates when searching for a Name and you cannot see the Birth/Death dates in Edit Mode as you add them on.

Consequently when I want to add an Ancestor eg. Thomas Hoskins - I have SIX direct ancestors called Thomas Hoskins and 20 Thomas Hoskins names in all. It is IMPOSSIBLE to know which one to choose if I am wanting to add a particular Thomas Hoskins to an image - I have put all my Direct Ancestors in BOLD, but still there are 6 to choose from!!!

HOSKINS, THOMAS (1598 - 1640)

HOSKINS, THOMAS (b.1657)

HOSKINS, THOMAS (b.1679)

HOSKINS, THOMAS (b.1719)

HOSKINS, THOMAS (1794 - 1850)

HOSKINS, THOMAS (1825 - 1883)

Now take away the dates & how on earth do I find the one I want???

I find this new issue Absolutely Infuriating!
