Hi, If I understand Carl, then I agree. I was always under the understanding that when missing information was missing when a person submitted to the AF, that the date, location were calculated from the AF software. The software would gather all the surrounding data about a person, and if a date was missing, it was <calculated>. Such as if a child's birth date was missing, the software would make a educated date from the parents marriage, and age of the parents. It would also do so for the location. The AF software would look around the surrounding data again, and possibly put the <location> from the parents location, or possibly from other children locations. *My* understanding was that the AF software would do it's best in find missing information for missing information, then put < >'s around it.
