Brian, I do not understand why you have no use for christening records. In all countries, prior to the introduction of national recording of births, the christening records are the only way of determining an approximate birth date. For the rest of your post I suggest that you read my answer to

I had the same problem with having a Google account. Legacy techs unsubscribed and resubscribed me so that may be the only way to go. I don't think it has anything to do with what email program you're using because I wasn't getting my Legacy messages online at Google either and they weren't

Elizabeth, As Jenny pointed out my wording was too loose. Thank you for you offer, but I have examined Quaker Registers in Westmorland, England, when researching my family. If one uses Church records (of any sort) to establish a birth date then one has to call it something, and only one type can

You can put anything you want to, but Legacy won't be able to calculate ages from that if that is important to you. If they were very young, put down Before date.  date would be equal to one year after birth. If they were born July 1, 1955, put down Before July 1, 1956 as the death date. Then
