nFS does not allow the between format but will allow "from 1 Jan 1856 to 31 Mar 1856" or "Mar 1856". I agree with both values not being an accurate reflection of the English BMD Quarter Date. Legacy's quarter date format exports in gedcom as "Bet 1 Jan 1856 and 31 Mar 1856" and it will convert that date format back into the quarter date format on importing a gedcom.

Jenny, When I first read this problem it seemed to me that the problem was that nFS did not recognise Legacy's Quarter Dates as used for English BMDs (is that correct?). For me, it follows that the problem is not with Legacy, but requires a change by FS, this I cannot see happening. Personally, I do not use the Q Date format, but I do agree with your interpretation of its actual meaning, and for the benefit of those who may not be aware, the Q Date format was introduced as a result of user requests.

This problem is irking me too, and the only workaround I have found is what Graham is doing and going in to manually enter the year. I certainly wouldn't want to change my Q date format to "from Jan to Mar 1856" as this is not at all accurate. "BETWEEN Jan and Mar 1856" would be accurate but I like to use the "Mar Q 1856" format because this indicates to me immediately that I am looking at a GRO Index of Registration date and not a suggested, approximate or calculated date of a Vital Event. -- 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).
