I use the word "abt" (about) solely to indicate a registration quarter (eg abt Mar 1876). For other approximate dates culled from other sources (eg census), I use "c" (circa).

Additionally, I italicise the registration district where it is uncorroborated from any other source as this will often not be the exact location of the event.

I am sorry if this has been asked too many times before...
If I know something occurred, like a birth date, in a particular quarter, such as in Jan - Mar 1876, what is the preferred method of entering this ? I have tried Jan-Mar 1876, Jan/Mar 1876 and now am leaning towards Q1 1876 (because this will appear on the Pedigree View, the others will not).


What is the recommended entry format ?

Thankyou, Robin Dimes
