Eliz, What we are all wondering is what records are selected to be used for the averaging?
For the 1900-1999 grouping does that mean a person had to be born aft 1900 or died after 1900? How much does abt., aft., bet, bef, cal, cir, records are used if any? A simple explanation on the Help page would suffice for most of us, but I am dismayed it wasnt part of the update release.
