[LegacyUG] Double-dating in 1500s

2009-11-09 Thread ceaster99
I don't have a lot of dates in the 1500s but have just noticed that double dating isn't working in that century. I have run File Maintenance Check/Repair several times since discovered. Have completely removed and retyped date. If add / and two numbers, just reverts to the second number.

There may well be variations in description of names amongst our Royal Family, but what one needs to know is the family name, or, perhaps more accurately, the house name. For example George V was born into the House of Windsor and a search for George Windsor 1865 +/-2 will find his

There is no standard, even among the most reputable genealogists. There are continuous debates among them. Remember, PLANTAGENET is not a surname. The important thing is to have in your files as many of the different names a person is known by. That does mean much searching, but that is the

You'll probably get lots of suggestions and things get complicated with the Windsor's. In 1917, the name House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was changed to House of Windsor by King George V (Edward's son), largely because of anti-German sentiment during WW I. So Edward VII (son of Queen

There are other times when the year is one of two, such as regnal years. To enter 15 March 1806-1807, be sure to enter the full years - 1086-1087. Using 1086/87 will not work unless the within the double-dating period. CE -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com
