I have been able to input 1843-1844, 1822-1828 with no problem. I have also used between 1870 and 1876. I have also successfully used 14 Nov 1897-1898. With each upgrade it has become easier to use multiple dates.

I've known the date, such as August 10. But the year could be either 1853 or 1854. I've think I've tried the following: 10 Aug 1853-1854 10 Aug 1853-54 10 Aug 1853/1854 10 Aug 1853 or 1854 .....and nothing works, it takes the highest year. I would rather not have to use "abt" or "ca" for this as use these for dates that are entirely approximate, such as "abt June 1922" Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "C.G.
