Re: [LegacyUG] dates for Events?
Hi Elizabeth, What you are wanting with dates is an option in the Chronology View and Report. However these aren't part of the free version of Legacy. However in the Standard Free version, you can change the display for all dates in Options Customise - Date Tab and this choice carries through to reports for all dates. Note this isn't changing the entry order which should match your computer date format. In Legacy 7.5 this appears as another choice on the Dates tab but in Legacy 8 this is set automatically from the computer settings.

RE: [LegacyUG] Dates for Events
The instructions at the time were, to answer the questions as if they were answered on the 1st of June, not the day the census taker actually got to your house. They were to ignore children born after that day, which my relative was, and include people who died after that date, which you have an example of. In my own work, I have found that most 'takers' got it right. Rich in LA CA --- On Wed, 4/21/10, Brian L. Lightfoot br...@the-lightfoots.com wrote: From: Brian L.

RE: [LegacyUG] Dates for Events
This is probably to what Jenny was eluding was she mentioned the precariousness of the word correct. In the case of census data, a lot depended upon the truthfulness of those being enumerated and then a lot also depended upon the precision and uniformity amongst the various enumerators.
