ok I will go in and change mine. I do not have my birthday showing on the data in my GEDCOM. I did notice that I did include Gil's so I guess I will remove the GEDCOM and delete his birthday information and his two sisters that are still alive.
I will have to check the other GEDCOMs I have posted. This tree is very frustrating. It took me a while to see that the tree is running my dad's side into my mother's side. Making it look like that generation is continous all the way across the page. I realize it is a work in progress.
