No, I don't agree with you: my granddad was born in 1909 and he died in 1996. If I follow your method, he won't show up if I search the years 1939-1945, because there aren't any events for that years. So the suggested procedure must first look at the span between birth/baptism and death/burial, before it can drop it's conclusions on screen/paper. Sincerely, Hubert Slings J.E.
