Hi Peter
I just have to add my 2 cents worth. For me, I like to use Alt Birth or
Alt Death or alt Marriage when I have only an idea of the birth, such as Roy
married Gertrude 11 Jun 1934 when he was 26 and she was 23. In my case Alt
tells me that I do not have an exact date and which source the about date
was obtained. I have also added an Alt place because sometimes I have exact
date from two sources but different places that the event occurred.
Hope this helps more
Love, Light, Rainbows & Blessings

Denis, (Rob & Steve),
Thanks for your explanations. The Alt term makes more sense now. I'll have
to determine a way to make any use of them proactive as opposed to them
just
sitting there dormantly, Perhaps getting them on to "to do" lists?
I'm off to think aboutthem but I won't yet delete them.

Alt. stands for "alternate" or "alternative". I use them when I have
conflicting data. For example, a newspaper obit may say a person was
born in 1921, but the tombstone may say 1920. So one goes in the main
birth event, and the other goes in an Alt. Birth event.
