That's sort of my point though, if my great great grandkids look me up they'll say "Ooooh interesting, our great great grandfather was a chef!" and they might as well think I was Batman . It's not an accurate piece of data at all... it's misleading.

Again though it's not that I think it's a problem, just that I don't think there should be any huge issue with altering or updating the format of these documents. I understand people thinking "there's no need to", but also, I don't really understand why there'd be any specific objection to doing so? Is it particularly important for the certificate to say "Mother / Father" and if so... why is it important?
