I just ran the Reasonableness Check on my database for the first time in a couple of years (my bad!! :-[ ). This is the first time I have run it under BK 7.0 and under Windows 7, but I'm not sure this matters. Most of the errors found are identifiable and fixable, but I have found two kinds that I cannot figure out what happened or what I did to cause them. In both cases, I have found quite a few instances of each kind of error. PERSON NAME age -1 years b. 12 Nov 1885 d. 7 Oct 1885 Situation: The correct birthdate and deathdate seem to have gotten reversed each under the wrong label. It happens virtually always in an entry for an childhood death. The second type comes in three different flavors. The entry is usually flagged because the person appears to have been married before they were born, married after they had died, or have a minus age (died before they were born). In all cases where I have the source document available, of the three dates, two of them are the SAME (one of which is correct, the other is not), and if the third date is present, it is nowhere to be found on or nearby the source record at all! Any ideas? Paul J. Lareau
