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
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?

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
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
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
ahh yes of course - I dind't think of those extra flags - good point there
Sherry, thanks.

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
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.
