Bk 7.3.4 Doing a reasonable check and have set parameters for "Ages difference of spouses" as 15 - 30.   However, I am getting hits for age difference of 2-3 years, which is practically everyone in my database of over 80,000.  Am I doing something wrong? Fran

Fran I have just tested in the data you sent me. The test is for those event OUTSIDE the reasonable. If you set 30 as a minimum, then zero to thirty is outside that range. And over 50 is the high end. What you might want is those that3 do not appear with a marriage range of 0 to 20, then 0 to 30, then zero to 50 etc. It took me a while to see what was happening since all other tests are reported in the list. It would be helpful if the report could have option for each test.

Fran Another error that pops up for me is second marriages, where say a man marries a very young lady and you have her marked as step mother for his children that might be older than her. Also if you have the century wrong on one of the parents it will be a chain reaction for all the children. So one date in the birth date of a parent might create multiple errors.

Thanks Jim, something else not thought about.  We'll see if such pops up in Reasonableness check.   I have loads of work ahead of me as I have 27 pages of inconsistencies.  Not sure how I got so far behind checking my database.
