Hi All, Anyone noticed one of the many inconsistencies that appear on the Research Guidance for and Individual? In England & Wales, prior to 1837, it is uncommon to have a birth date for a person. Baptism or Christening dates, yes. Birth dates, no.
When constructing the time-line for an individual, RG does not take the baptism or christening dates of children into account when sorting events. It only appears to use birth dates. The same probably applies to burial dates when no actual date of death is known, which is also a distinct probability for pre-1837 events in England & Wales. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) 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).
