Rita,
For the avoidance of future problems it is best to treat only dates as
dates, and notes as notes. But it is your choice.

Thanks Ron
These particular ones I have no birth or death date for, only the
notes "died in infancy" or "died at age 18" etc. I had entered that
in the died field because I like seeing it there and on family group
sheets. I guess it's not wrong just because Legacy does recognize
it as a date.......... Thanks again

Rita,
For me, I just deduct the age from the year of death and use about
eg. 1888
less 18 gives Abt1870. With respect to died in infancy, personally I
would leave the date blank, change the 'living' to 'dead', enter
the place of death (if I know it) in the location field, and add a
note in the Death Notes to say "Died in infancy".

That is a great tool and I am very pleased to find something else
to help me keep my data consistent.
I would like to know where and how others record information
without dates where only an age is known. Such as; died in
infancy or died at age 18.
Thanks,

Barrie,
If you have dates entered in a form that Legacy does not recognize
as a date there is a search that will list all the "bad" dates.
Go to Search > Find > Miscellaneous searches tab.
There is a selection there that will search all bad dates.

Hi,
I made a start error when entering dates in a lot of my family
records, so there's a number of formats for the same date.
After doing what I should have done in the 1st place (RTBM!) I
made selections in the Options>Customise>Dates screen, and am
following the conventions I've chosen.
My question is:
Is there any way I can do a blanket change to the already entered
dates so they read as per my customised date setup? I've got quite
a number, and if the worst comes to the worst I can manually
re-enter them, but it would
make
life easier if there was a way to do it in one step.
Any help/comments welcomed. Thanks
Barrie
