Sorry --- I hit the SEND to quickly Melanie -- to answer your original question: When you generate your list of Living persons set your Filter criteria as: 1. Death Date does Not exist; AND Birth Date Is Greater Than 1910 (for example) Regards, Ken Guilette South Barrington, IL ----- Original Message ----- From: Melanie Petersen To: PAF-5-USERS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 9:32 AM Subject: [PAF-5] living status What is the protocol in PAF for recording a death when you don't have a day, month, year etc., but you know that they died? Sometimes I run reports and someone born in the early 1800's turns up as living. I guess what I'm saying is--how do you let the computer know that they are no longer living?
