That was definitely news to me, Renee.
My tip isn't even mine - I am thrilled with Linda Altman's idea about source
templates, and have created a number of them. In addition to census, I have
the online Missouri Death certif's, Civil War Pension files, Land Entry
files and a number of others.

Hi Heather,
That's precisely how I use them as well - though I rarely actually
enter the Est dates but do it when I'm researching that person and if
I make a To Do to find that birth or marriage I put the Estimated

I certainly understand the nuances, but I have to admit that in eleven
