Thanks Margaret and Alan However, your suggestions do not help. The problem is that I have 2 different change over dates for double dating (England and Scotland). If I turn off double dating and enter 3 Jan 1721/22., It becomes 3 Jan 1722.. If I set double dating to 2500 as suggested by Alan, all dates between Jan & March are double dated . If I set it to 1600, I cannot enter a double date for my English records. between 1600 and 1752 as they revert to a single year as before.. Judy
The topic of double dating is covered in Mastering Legacy: Names, Dates & Places. Geoff's suggestion was not to select double dating preference when you select options>customize. You entered your date as 3 Jan 1721/1722, instead enter 3 Jan 1721/22. That should do it. --- On Sun, 7/3/11, Judy Wardlaw <jward...@netspace.net.au> wrote: I have a problem. As double dating (Gregorian calendar) started in Scotland in 1600 and in England and Ireland in 1752, I cannot set up my programme because I can only use one starting date (in Customise). If I set the starting date to 1752, my early Scottish records are incorrect, if I set it at 1600 my early English records are incorrect. If I turn double dating off and try to manually enter a date such as 3 Jan 1721/1722 in my English records, it is just recorded as 3 Jan 1722. Do I just turn double dating off and make a note in the source as the correct recorded date?
