Hello, I would like to make a suggestion when writing out dates. It would eliminate a lot of confusion if we wrote out the month using the three letter abbreviation instead of numbers. I would imagine most people realize that in the US and Canada numerical dates are written month/day/year while in UK, etc. it is written day/month/year. 4/7/02 could be April 7, 2002, or July 4,2002 depending on which system you use. For all the years I have been doing family history research (which is a lot) I have seen professional researchers and the PAF program use 7 Apr 2002 or 4 Jul 2002. I have found that doing it this way saves a lot of wrong dates and confusion when people are trading information and are using different dating systems. Thanks for your consideration. Kristie in Utah
