I went and changed the dates to -0030 and -0010, added the timeline South Africa History 0000-1651. In the timeline was a mention of '-0004-00-00 Birth of Jesus Christ' which got an Error 'Unrecognized date', but my stuff seemed to fly? I was adding various timelines, so I may have the wrong one, but this was the only one that went BC. I needed to uncheck a message about out of his lifetime or something like that, and it showed up. I got into timeline editor, which seems to be the place to add such things, but I did not see where ANY event could be 'forced' into a timeline. It will pick up stuff from a person's own timeline, but not add to an existing timeline of any time era. Meaning, What I can't do is add/force a new date 'hard-load' into any timeline? I may be missing something, but IMHO this is the bottom line of you desire. The BC stuff is just the key to finding this fact out. --- Judy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
