Hi Brian   I have FTM, what I do is put the date Abt.1880 obviously because the field wont allow you to put anything else into it. Then in the where/place box I type the place, month 1/4 and GRO ref number. I have found this to be most helpful, especially when ordering certificates.   Pat Williams --- On Tue, 20/1/09, Brian Binns <bnbinns@gmail.com> wrote: From: Brian Binns <bnbinns@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [NTT] Off subject but hope you don't mind - symbols To: "'Jean WOOD'" <jeangrahame@orange.fr>, "'rjngs'" <rjngs@pearson30.karoo.co.uk>, nottsgen@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, 20 January, 2009, 10:06 PM Family Tree maker, the most widely used family tree program, doesn't let you put in anything other than a date or the word "about" - then the date. Does anyone out there know how to put in the relevant qtr for BMD's?
