Hi,

I have a couple of databases where I entered the date that people were christened instead of date of birth, the latter being unknown. However, The Narrative Web Report seems to use the event Baptism instead of Christening.

Is there an easy way to change Christening to Baptism for all entries in the database?

I tried to export GRAMPS XML, issue a search/replace on the text and then re-import the XML. This seems to work but can I be sure no information gets lost this way?

Hi,
you're probably writing to the wrong mailing list?
