Hi Steve Could you post this message for me to Legacy Users, I am one of the UK citizens that can't get through. Ivy Murphy from Manchester UK says. Q dates do not belong as the date of birth they are the date the birth was registered and as such belong as part of the reference number to the source of birth. In the UK you are allowed 6 weeks to Register the birth of a child, however the only criteria that the authorities will not overlook is you registering the birth in the wrong place. When one of my children was born I just happened to be in a different town to the one I lived in and had to stay put because of a snowstorm I later was sent home with new child but became ill we did not have a car in those days and returning to the place of birth was a little difficult for quite a while added to the fact the town registrar that the birth HAD to be registered at was only open 3 days in the week in the event although my sons birthday was 3/3/1963 his Q date appears as 3rd Q 1963, in my opinion when the actual date is not available either an abt year or just the year are far more accurate Legacy provides plenty of other places to put your opinions that transfer easily by Gedcom. Sorry I can't join in the debate personally and thank you Steve for your help.
