Alice, Ancestry gets a lot of information from RootsWeb. I find that my data has appeared there without my consent. I believe it's a condition of placing your file on RootsWeb. So I'm sure that if it works to place "deceased" in your files, and they work on Ancestry, it should work on RootsWeb. I have seen data marked as "deceased" on RootsWeb.

I don't know if it will work at RootsWeb, but it worked with Ancestry Family Tree or whatever it was called back then. To this day I still fil in the Died field with Dead. If Diedrich has any doubts, perhaps he could read the fine print at RootsWeb. In any case, it's 60 thousand mouse clicks, so Diedrich had better get started! < grin > -- Alice In a message dated 10/4/2005 1:56:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This is about the best I can think of, too, but I'm wondering if this will be recognized by Rootsweb as an indication of the person being deceased and keep their software from marking them as living?
