Georgia, 1) I would just exempt them from the Problems Report. I am not aware of any other way of dealing with the instance of retrospective dates, they may also be found in wedding certificates when an occupation is given for a deceased father, and in the later death certificates (in England/Wales).
2) I have not looked at the Help Files, and if I did I would just search for 'Dates'! However, the valid dates are given in Options>Customise>Dates - if they ain't there then they ain't valid in Legacy.

A recent Potential Problem reported "Event date after death date". Well, yes, I would hope so. Is there a different way to handle an obituary or should I just check the box to "exclude from potential problems"? I also have several potential problems in which the "Event date is bad". This is usually because I have used a range of dates or something like, Fall 1965. Is there a help file somewhere that explains what date formats are "good" in events?
