Bernie, I do the same thing, but I noticed that, for most of the census records, they require a little more space, so I've made it a practice to paste the source citation text for these into the Source Detail Text field, leaving the entry box blank on the "Detail/Information" tab. As long as I hav

Don, I presumed that we would all know that the source might not be accurate, but the fact that a calculation is used to arrive at a date does make a difference, and using the Cal term provides information that other terms do not. In the following, when I say calculated date, it usually comes dow

As one of the "rest of you," allow me to pipe in here. I suppose an honest, though humorous entry would be "guess" instead of Estimated, but Estimated means the same to me anyway. Moreover, I have come to regard the term about, or abt to mean 'guess,' since, most of the time, you find it to have b

That's a good point. The only thing is, that after making a search list of one of these -- I'll call them 'AD Tags' -- I would usually want to use a regular tag to make the information more visible, at least temporarily, which is inconvenient, but well worth keeping in mind, as with the ideas you

A person normally does not enter surnames as all capitals. They can be set to display that way if desired. If they are entered as all caps then a potential problem is shown, but it is my understanding, that any individual kind of pp can be disabled, though I haven't tried it myself. I think you
