Hi folks, I've been adding some old Royal lines to my PAF5 lately, and have come across an "oddness" Charlemagne (77 lines of decent so far) had a son Pepin..He had a son Bernard, King of Italy, Charlemagne and Pepins mother show as my grandparents in the display window, Pepin shows as a great Grand Uncle, Pepins wife shows as a grandmother, Bernard and his wife show as grandparents..Ok, so the Pepin entry is broken, I created a new Pepin, deleted the old one, re-linked everyone, Pepin is still and uncle..help... Regards, Fred

Gee, I think it's been kinda interesting. Sure beats repeatedly reading "me too", along with peoples enigmas, or goons, or researching Manny, Moe, and Jack, and trite warnings about non-existent attachments.

Thank you all for an interesting discussion. Yes, the St Louis University Medical School does have a memorial service once a year for the families whose loved ones had donated their body. I can't remember if it is also a burial. I'll have to check. I will put something in the place space, so that the question is answered. If left blank it will always seem as if it still needs to be checked out.. But my notes will include the obituary which makes the statement about the donation. LaVerne

I don't use a burial date unless I have no death date. Sometimes cemetery records only include the burial date. I do enter the burial place, including the name of the cemetery if it is known. Once I find the actual death date (via a death certificate or obituary), I then delete the burial date. I don't think in most cases that it is critical data, but perhaps someone will share a good reason to include a burial date!

The word "cremains" is used to refer to the ashes one receives when a body has been cremated, and I believe all bodies donated to science are eventually cremated. I know that Hershey Medical Center holds a memorial for the families of donated cremains once each year - my son was the student who gave the eulogy/gratitude to the families. SO cremains might be a good word to use! But yes, also put into notes.

I can see that if there was an extended period between the dates that it could indicate either a transposed number or other error in recording the dates, or a clue to some other issue, such as an autopsy, transport to a distant location, etc. And of course, some people may actually want to visit the sites, take photos of the tombstones, etc. The date could help the caretakers locate the grave. I don't spend time looking for the date, but if I have it why not record it? I don't see a value in deleting it after the fact.

I must be old. Shell in Torrance, California got an IBM 650 in 1959 or 1960 I started on it with assembler language and Bell Interpretive language. 10,000 "words" of rotating drum memory. Then moved "up" to Fortran. Dave Anderson

You are ancient, I worked for Chevron and I remember when we got a 360. The guys who supported it were looked upon as "Einsteins". I later wrote programs, in Assembler Language, for our "lowly" 1800. Sure liked that little machine. The "hot shot" programmers wrote using Fortran.
