ok, so - as an example
baptism date of 12 Aug 1789
instead of putting birth as "Before 11 Aug 1789"
you would put either About 1789 or before 1789 or just 1789 ?

Intelimerge will not look for a baptism date if the birth date is blank.

*Assuming* the baptism was in one of the High Churches where
infant baptism is the norm, then 1789 ought to work
perfectly well for (a) eliminating the PP flag (b) ordering
children (c) most lists. Rationale: one doesn't not
baptism the unborn; if there is a baptism, there is a living
child, even
understood - thanks for the insight Ron

Kathy,
Please note that this is only *my* way and *not* a recommendation.
1st half year before 1789
2nd half year before 1790
Yes the second will throw up a PP, so I exempt it now.

Kathy,
You have correctly identified my views and reservations.
All I can do is to confirm that I only ever use the before date and whole years
in such cases, and will not change because of a new PP system.

Do an estimated birth date with est or bef as a date prefix.
A lot of baptisms are done on older children or adults. Sometimes the
date is applicable, esp if it's a christening (naming of child done
with sprinkling) shortly after birth) but many times it's not. My
baptism was nearly 30 years after
that's what I guessed might have been your reasoning there, just wanted to
make sure.
but given the variations in ages at baptism - how does one make that
decision of how much time to deduct from a baptism date?
I'm not fond of having a specific date for baptism (12 Aug 1776) and having
a before
Kathy,
It made sense when I sent my last reply.
In a previous post I stated that given the wide variations between common
baptism ages I cannot see how such a "standard" can be derived with any degree
of accuracy.
If you can think of anything you could just make the deduction from the baptism
ok, something has been lost in transmission here.
I have no birthdates
I do have baptism dates
I am NOT get warnings of gaps for birthyears - because I have no birthdates
- and that is fine and expected
As such, I don't need to adjust gaps or turn of warnings or anything like
that.
What I am aski
Kathy,
Apologies, I did not appreciate that you do not have any birthdates at all.
In such a case you may as well switch it off

Kathy,
There cannot possibly be any "standard" for baptisms given the wide variations
and varying practices (or none). Everyone does have a birthdate though.
I will however repeat my question - have you tried changing the birth gap?

it appears that the PP does not look at Baptism dates in any form to help
with gaps when there are no birthdates.

Kathy,
Have you looked at the PP birth gap?
If so you would have seen a little box with the gap on years - didn't you try
changing it?
