Hi Cathy,
I understand what you are saying but I have two people who have Abt yyyy for both birth and death for both of them. When I do a Family Group Sheet for HIS parents, so these two people appear as son and daughter-in-law – and his dates show as Abt yyyy for birth and death – this is correct. Her dates show as (Cir yyyy-Cir yyyy) When I do a Family Group Sheet for these two people, HIS parents (entered as Abt) both appear as (Cir yyyy – Cir yyyy). HER parents both show as ( - ) which is correct as there are no dates and no Abt etc entered. So something else is happening in there.

So they're not all About. Some are recorded as Circa. The bracketed dates in reports are not taking notice of what you've entered for the Display but of the base date prefix. So to get cir in reports you do have some dates entered from the Circa. That's why I said to change the display of this at 5.7 to find them and then change them to Abt - the real About - via Search and Replace or one by one Is that clearer? Cathy Susie Zada wrote: Hi Cathy, Thanks for the suggestions – unfortunately it’s not a case of change any Circa etc dates to Abt because they’re all Abt anyway. The exactly same dates – Abt birth and Abt death appear differently depending on whether the couple are the son and daughter -in-law and the exactly same couple are shown as Husband and Wife in the Family Group Report! I’ve eliminated all the various versions for the dates and prefixes which is why I wondered if I’d found a bug or missed a setting!

I suggest you change the display for Circa back to Circa or something and then find those dates and change them to Abt if that's what you want. You can use Search - Search and Replace on various Date fields to mak e this a fast process. Just make sure you're only replacing the found text and not the whole field.

Example - Son James has Born Abt 1856, Died Abt 1905 BUT Spouse Elizabeth (Cir 1859 - Cir 1909) If I look at the son and daughter-in-law they both display dates with Abt and not Circ If I change the family to be the son and daughter-in-law as the main people, both Husband and Wife appear with the correct prefixes of Abt for both born and died BUT their parents Father and Mother have dates in brackets showing (Circ 1834 - Cr 1905) In Australia when getting BDM Registrations from the indexes I always use Abt unless I have actual dates. This is because a birth could have been registered at the beginning of a year but the actual event could have occurred at the end of the previous year - until I have t he real dates they have to be Abt because they could have been either year - hope that makes sense. So why is the information appearing in brackets as part of the standard Family Group Report showing as Cir and not Abt? Regards ... Susie Z
