I inherited a gedcom from a relative, which I imported and merged. That's fine.

But, many of their death dates are blank, and I would like to set them to Y. We're talking about approximately 1000 people.

I guess, I would like to say:
if Birthdate is null or before 1920,
and Deathdate is null
then Deathdate = Y

If I inadvertently bury someone, it will be easier to resurrect them.

What is the best way to do this type of mass edit???
Thank you -
