Graham, if you show the quarter in the format from Jan to Mar 1856 then it will transfer as Mar 1856, which apart from manually entering the details, seems the best nFS can offer. There is an option in Options, Customise, Dates near bottom right to globally change between dates to the From to

The nFS would be a ton better if it contained sources (imported as people add info). Instead, you have to add each source for each fact one at a time. So everyone uploads without sources so you can't evaluate whether something is good info or not. I have synched about 50% of my file and I
