Legacy is a computer program. The burial age is not looking at the death age for guidance. It is calculating its age separately based on the birth year only. Even if you have a christening year, it can't calculate age.
I agree that the person's "age" shouldn't change from the age at death, even if the burial comes some time later. This happened with my grandfather's ashes. The pop-up box should say, instead of Age at Burial, Years since Birth, to be more exact. Susan On 4/29/06, William Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm confused! My understanding of 'age' at any point in time is the number of years (months, days, ..) between the date & time of birth and the earlier of 1) the date of the event and 2) the date of death. In other words since the date of burial falls after the date of death then the calculation of 'age' would not be based on that date, but on the date of death (unless the date of death was not known). Using that logic, the spanning of years should not impact the 'age'. Have I misunderstood the meaning of 'age'? Bill Anderson
