If you are having difficulty using iFamily for Leopard.
eg: "How do I change someone's sex after they are married?

Hi Douglas

You can use before (bef), about (abt, c, circa) and after (aft) but not " between" dates in iFamily for Tiger.

For between dates I suggest that you average them and enter an about date.

Loved the demo, have bought the full version - should have PayPal funds cleared in a day or so to get the full version. Yay!! (Another suitably impressed convert).

With regard to " between" dates, you can elect to include a 'before' or 'after' date, and then add the other limit in the corresponding 'notes' field for the event (e.g. birth, death).
Suggest for birth you select " BEF" the latest plausible date, then comment the earliest possible date.
And for death, select " AFT" the earlier plausible date, then comment the latest date.
