Q. What about Baptismal and Burial information?
A. I originally intended to make Baptismal information part of a separate "Religious information" record, and provided a separate "pointer" field to support it, but could never decide just what other information should go into that record. Eventually there just wasn't enough room left in the file update program to implement another record format. When I do get around to "reworking" the FHS file design, baptismal and burial informa- tion will be given special consideration. In the meantime, the name record comment area is the place to put those details. In the new "free form" reports these comments appear as a more "natural" extension of the name record so that the baptismal and burial information "almost look like" they are part of the file design.

NOTE: The update to FHS that is in progress adds an Event record to the FHS family file format. This new record provides direct support for Baptismal and Burial events, as well as other events that the user may care to identify.
