Jenny, I have often wondered this myself, and am unsure whether it is better to identify the error as being in the mother's death date or (usually) the child's birth date. The only advantage that I have been able to see is that if one has mistyped the death date by say, 10 or 100 years then it can affect all the kids in that family, and a hint that it may be the mother's date can help finding the problem.

However there was one entry which said that an Individual's Father's death date was wrong and a group of entries for a set of siblings where it said that their Mother's death date was wrong. I am curious why these entries were in the names of the children, not the Individuals concerned. It meant that instead of being able to use the Edit button, I had to lose the list, go to one of the named people and then select their parent in order to make the correction. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
