Another possibility is that the LDS uses <> to mean 'about' (dates) 'near'
(places), but how the computer created those 'facts' would require more
information but I am not asking. I would mark them unsubstantiated. A different
relative may be in a DB and that one says the above stuff. Or maybe it
'profiled' that most people surnamed Ryan are British, and more specific are
Irish. All mine are. It doesn't matter. Ignore it or use it as a tool to find
better stuff.

Thanks, Ron and Jan, for the replies. The < > brackets probably mean unchecked
or unverified data I suppose; that's what I used in my own database. Yet one
of the persons I looked at had an exact date of death, day, month & year which
was the same day as the birth data. That cannot be just an estimate, like most
males marry at age 25 years so 'guess' the year. Then again, others I've
looked at have the marriage year as one year prior to the 1st child's birth,
and a man's birth year as 25 years before his marriage year etc. Locations may
be being presumed from where the person married.
There is possibly more to know about this and maybe someone can add to our pool
of knowledge.
Regards
Tom

Hello
As I've been off-line for a while I'm discovering new things!
Selecting a person on 'Family' tab, -> 'Research Guidance' , ->
'Suggested Sources' opens the 'Research Guidance' window. Top left of
this window has the selected persons name and some data, for example:
Mary Ryan (194)
b. <1814>, <Ireland>
d. Aft 1868, <Ireland>
The < > brackets show data not on my database so it must come from
somewhere within the Legacy system, but where? Can anyone tell me the
best way to establish where this data comes from? So far I can't
figure
it out unless I go through all the suggestions for research listed.
It's not mentioned in 'Help' nor could I find it in Archives
TIA

Tom,
I think it means calculated from data within your database eg. date of
marriage, birth of children, expected life span etc.
