All, I have had a request to delete the birth dates of living persons from a section of the CHASE Dbase. To do this I would have to delete dates of birth for all living persons in the database. This may include some that are obviously dead but have no date of death recorded. Can I have the views of all those who have submitted dbases,please. I do not yet know how this part of the Programme works but if it takes away the Birth date of all those that do not have a Death date entered then we could lose some useful data Keith Keith Hume, email khume@netcomuk.co.uk CHASE-L Website at:- http://www.surnameweb.org/centers/c/chase/index.html http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~khume/home.html Kent,England Researching:- HULME,DAWSON,(In Lancs.)
