Hello Ron, Yes, that is where on the Family Group Reports I am having a problem. I totally agree that the abbreviation should be there for the parents. My problem is - it shows Cir 1815 yet I have entered Abt 1815.
I looked at others in my database that have parents with About birth year. The ones I looked at have Abt. I do not understand why this one set of parents has Cir. when I have entered Abt. I hesitate to take up so much of your time. I do so wish I could get it to have Abt. As an aside, I when I asked about having about spelled out rather than abbreviated I planned to use it in the events. Such as 'John moved to Wisconsin about 1849' rather than 'John moved to Wisconsin abt 1849' For sure I didn't want 'John moved to Wisconsin cir. 1849'.

Edward Rogers (Abt 1843 - Cir 1890). If so, I believe that to be fixed, and if so I would not wish for it to be changed. I suspect that it is the same string as used in webpages, and it would be too large for the page/boxes used in the Pedigree pages. It may also cause problems elsewhere. If that is not where the problem is please come back to me.
