Kathy,
Can you not estimate dates based on the information you have? I always try to put in birth, date, marriages estimations. At the very least I put in Bef. or Aft. Dates. Where did you get these names in the first place? Census records? Obits? Even if you are 10 years off that is better than no dates. As more info comes in, you can narrow the dates.

I've only looked at one person so far, but I had no death date for her and zero suggested Sources in Research Guidance suggestions. Then I put a year into the Death Date field and immediately lots of Sources appeared. Presumably, this is a "design feature" but I don't like it. If I have to put "any old date" in the field in order to get the suggestions, I am quite likely to forget it is "any old" and think I have some evidence for it and will restrict my researches to around that time. There must be lots of suggestions which could be made even without an indication of what sort of time period one should be searching in. -- 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).
