I know I should be nice to everyone who asks me this question, but it is a bit funny. I wonder if those who ask even know what the year 2000 problem is? Basically the problem is that if you record dates in a database using only 2 digits, like 98 instead of 1998, then when 2000 comes along, the 2 digit date of 00 will be less than 99 and make computers and some programs have a hernia! Well, if you have been recording your genealogy using 4 digits (instead of 2) then there is no year 2000 problem any more than there was a 1900 problem or a 1000 problem. If you entered 45 as the year then us genealogists would always wonder if you mean 1845, 1945, 1745 or maybe 45 A.D. (45 years after Christ). So we have always advized people to record years using 4 digits. So I don't see why the so-called "Year 2000 Problem" should ever be a concern for genealogists.
