Died Field

Post by szcat » Sat Jul 18, 2009 7:36 pm

It would be great to indicate when a person has died but the date is unknown. Such as being able to put in that field.. Yes and or unknown or unk. How are other users handling this? I have been leaving that space blank and under death notes putting a time , example, between 1860-1870 or after 1860 census before 1870 census, but would like to be able to fill that field to show up in diagrams and reports.

Thanks Susan

If you have no idea when some died, but you know they are dead, you can put Y in the death date (for Yes)

You can also doing the following in the date filed:

c 1901
bef 1901
aft 1901
abt 1901

c = circu (around)
bef = before
aft = after
abt = about

You can also include more than the year, os the month or the full date

bef 1 Jan 1901
aft 16 May 1901
