Maybe it is exported as a string of text and not as a date. if I telle that the death of a person is før 1955 That will allso be importaed but that does not mean that the GEDCOM is correct done. You must look at the GEDCOM What if you tell før q1 1855 the Gedcom will have the same If you say 12 des 1955 the gedcom will tell the same and with the import it is mnot transformed to 12 dec 1955 if you still have the language to english -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON
