Hi, everyone: I need your help, again! I decided to print my list of "Possible Record Problems" to see where I may have made some mistakes and to correct them; to my surprise, 5 1/2 pages gave me details of my errors; about 50% of my "Possible Record Problems" says: "Was not between 16 and 45 when children were born in marriage(s)" I verified a couple of these so-called problems and so far I do not see where the problem lies; and why "16 and 45"? I am really puzzled. Examples: RIN 11 is born in 1708, marries in 1733, has children from 1735 to 1781 (date of his death). RIN 785 is born in 1733, marries in 1781, has one child born in 1782. Do you see a problem with these dates? Thank you for your help. Lucie As stated in other responses, these are only warnings and not true errors, but could point to errors. In this case, RIN 11 had at least one child after 1753 when that person was 45 - hence the warning message. On RIN 785, the one child was born when the parent was 49, again outside the 16 - 45 year range so again the reason for the warning message. There is nothing wrong about having children at that age or older (or younger than 16 as well), but chances are that they are rare and therefore would make sense that one needs to validate that the dates are correct. THANKS, Val Olds

Lucie: When we wrote the Possible Problems report, we thought that 16 and 45 would be a good lower and upper age for a person to have a child. We thought that a user would want to be alerted to situations outside of that range as a likely error. We also made these age ranges adjustable, so that if the user preferred a narrower or wider range, this could be adjusted. When you are ready to run the Possible Problem report, first click on the "Options" button. You'll see where you can make this adjustment and other adjustments.
