You are trying to enter dates in a format which Legacy doesn't recognise. You could enter 17 June 1938 or 1939 which would probably be clear in meaning to you and Legacy doesn't seem to see that as a "Problem Date" but it would probably make it difficult, if not impossible, to do Searches and Calculations involving those dates. It would be preferable to enter 17 June 1938 in the "main" field and then add an Alt event for 17 June 1939. Legacy has default Events for Alt Birth, Alt Baptism, Alt Burial, Alt Death and Alt Marriage. (I found it necessary to add an Alt Cencus Event where people had been enumerated in 2 different places!) -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
