Events This Day In History plugin

No problem with the plugin (apart from being unsure if gregorian/julian dates are catered for).

However I feel users will confuse this with an Historical Timeline feature such as in WL#40 (wars, monarchs etc)

Change of title to Family Anniversaries?

The plug in does not offset the days, for old calendars, it simply looks at the day number and month number for the dates concerned.

I picked that title as that's what the feature was called on another tree software, but I can change it if you think it necessary.

I must admit that like Chris when I saw the name I thought it would show events that had happened in history (and I wondered where you were getting the data from :) ) rather than events in the GEDCOM file. How about 'Events This Day In My Tree'?

Ok, I will change the name, but you have now got me thinking.
