I do hope this feature exists and I just havent found it.
I would like to see an icon choice bar, similar to what I have above as I write in the smiley options. This would give a little drop down menu to mark a person in the tree. Perhaps four or five options to go something like this.
Binocular Icon: Still searching for supporting information
Book icon: Need more citationsand back ground
Brick: Brick wall miracle required
Padlock: Well researched and referenced
Or maybe even a choice of icons which you could allocate your own stages.
The reason I ask is because I am continually opening people who are well researched while I try and find the ones I want to work on.
Please wade in below with support for this idea or expand it so the FTB staff know there would be demand.
I do like these suggestions. Unfortunately, I think I'd end up needing more binoculars, books, and bricks rather than padlocks, but still this is a good idea.
I would propose even more choices such as an icon to mark war service. Perhaps even choices indicating which war, or side they served on.
Or how about one to mark direct line ancestors. My families have a lot of common first names, and it helps to know which john or Isaac is on screen. Direct line or anceslory.
Perhaps an icon for country of origin. In my case it would be nice to have an icon indicating if this individual was from England, Scotland, Ireland or Germany.

I too would truely appreciate this - perhaps use images of flags?
These are great ideas and the systems are obviously being used already in other programmes. There is one example above me as I write this; a smiley icon.
Simple to use too. A set of those with different symbols and flags as suggested would massively simplify the work involved in keeping up a family tree.
