[dba-Tech] I have a dream

Kathryn,

I think that I can do it in Javascript and I'm grateful for your seeing its
utility. Genealogy doesn't happen to be my thing (perhaps due to the fact
that I was adopted at age 6 months, anBritish and the other half Metis
(that means Quebecois plus Dene First Nation). But that is irrelevant to
the topic at hand. I am not alone in wishing this add-in to exist. I shall
investigate and with luck come up with a solution, which upon arrival I
shall donate to the community.

I don't make much money anymore. but on the other hand I don't need much
either. So I'm pretty committed to donating any software ideas that I have
for free to our community.
