Ok Wim,

I don't have any Godparents listed either. I was about to go back and list
witnesses when I ran into this problem. These are all Danish Christenings.
How Do you enter the Parents? As God Parents? That does not seem right.
Please tell me how you have entered your Christening events. I am becoming
totally discouraged by this problem. I guess I need to know how you link
parents to a Christening event when you are only offered the option to list
Godparents.

Claire

the case then the birth-parents are in no way linked to this event. The
event will tehn show up on the narrative for the god-parents but not his
birth-parents.

aren't any godparents, only parents and sometimes witnesses. That's why they
do show up in my, but not in you're report. For this narrative to work there
needs to be at least one event (with a sentence that is), linking the child
to the birth-parents I suppose.

It should at least be something like: "John Doe had a child Mary"
