Greg, When I saw this thread is seemed to me that most responders understood very well what it was that you wished. As Brian made perfectly clear nothing can be added to a date field, other than the Legacy options, if you want it to verify and/or wish it to be GEDCOM suitable.

I use aft, abt, bef, ca, all the time and I know what those are for. My point was that I've got 20 people named John Doe who were all alive at roughly the same time. I found one that died before a certain date, and I think I know which one it is, but I'm not certain. I wanted to add something to his date of death that would indicate that I was uncertain that this particular John Doe was the one that died before that date. I can't really put the question anywhere besides the date of death because I use Name List to look for these individuals. In any event, I figured for sure who it was who had died before that date so the point is now moot. Thank you for the responses though.

Abt. is one of those but the "Maybe" that the original poster was planning to use is not. You can see a list by going to Options > Customize > Dates.
