Custom Fields is really where the power of XML comes into play. Fields are like column headings in tables. The whole data structure of XYFT is based on XML and most of it is very basic, using the essential fields of names and dates of birth and death and these field names can't be changed. The power of XML is that YOU determine what's important in YOUR family tree and this is what you can share with others.


If education records are important in your family you can add these as XML tags as in the illustration below. If you use XYFT to search for "<education>" you will find all those people where you have used the "<education>" tag.
